"Sleep"

When whirling out of sight one day,
I turned to God, took time to pray
And asked, “How do I get from here?
The way for me is far from clear.”

He said, quite simply, “Let things go –
Just ask, ‘Today, what need I know?’
Don’t worry ’bout tomorrow’s task,
Or yesterday – ’bout now just ask.”

That made a difference – “now” is short;
That I can do (I now report
I slept right through ’till early morn);
Right now? Just sleep – like baby born.
