Gratitude List for 15 Bahá

Today I am thankful ...
          ...that my Bank of America checking account is not overdrawn today.
          ...for the chocolate doughnuts I had with my coffee this morning.

Will I Be Able to Sleep Tonight1

Last night
was a sleepless night.

As the sun sets,
I wonder
if I can sleep tonight.

If I can't sleep,
the next question is
"Do I read
or write poetry?"
