Two Sleeps Poem by Herbert Nehrlich

Two Sleeps

Rating: 5.0


Please God, accept this little rhyme
it is in payment for your time,
your expertise is needed now
as only You would see the how
of changing universal things
So please send me, on angels' wings
a message of your quick decision
though let me tell you of my vision:
Two sleeps until that lovely day
(yes, I remember how to pray) ,
I'd be in debt of course to You
if all the hours, minutes flew
so you would have to somewhat fiddle
with time itself, it is no riddle
to You, my Lord, that WE do long
to hold our hands and sing our song,
You did not place into my genes
the patience of old mangosteens,
thus it would be appreciated
if you stood up and simply stated
that time move swiftly for two days
WE'd be so grateful, give You praise.
Though, there is just a little matter
to add to the above, the latter,
come Saturday You'd please be kind
and slowly, carefully unwind
the cogs inside the Heaven's clock
and let my Liebling and I rock.
'Twould be sooo good to put the brakes
on every minute, as it wakes,
I think there would be no objection
as time itself would lack direction
were it not for Your holy plan
bestowed on animal and man.
To make it easier for You
I would reduce, out of the blue
progress by one thousand percent
this what WE have truLY meant
to ask you, in the sky above,
it is a matter of pure love
