By Pooja Jain
Toss to your left
Toss to your right
Everything feels tight
Skin feels rough
Feet are cold
Oh, I forgot my night routine
Massage the feet, moisturize the hands and face
Self-care never gets old
Breathe in
Breathe out
Slow counts of four, make a square in air
Math and numbers always help me zone out
A to-do list running in my head
I am getting ready to face a new day
So tempted to open notes on my phone
It’s ME time, enjoy it dear, till the alarm goes off
Breathe in
Breathe out
Alternate nostril breathing, I have the power within
No pills needed to pop in
It’s dark and silence around
I am trembling, crying,
I begged the higher power to calm my fears
Give me courage and shower me with miracle of healing
I asked why me? Why my family?
I heard the voice from within …
Because
Only deep-sea divers find the treasures and solve the mysteries
You and your family can learn to swim together
Be the student of “God’s night classes”
