Hey There Mr. Sandman Poem by Richard Provencher

Dampen the shadows ‘cause I still want time to live
and follow nectar paths of wandering honey bees
to trill with loons on the edge of moonlight's glow

I am strength and power
with imagination to plow fields of sorrow
and bring a message of hope.

Children play and adults roam
across a field of vision
as I enter a lullaby for a baby's kiss.

I do not long to visit days of yesteryear
but only wish to build on dreams unattained
and continue to call my wife my own.
