NIGHT COMES
Slowly
stealthily
night comes to heal
to give rest and the comfort
of sweet pleasant dreams that waft
through the night air to sink
into some tired minds
peacefully
helping
day comes
with new hope
Strengthened by sleep
giving renewed energy to all
Ready for a day of giving and sharing
some way to lend a helping hand
not to be totally wasted away
but growth
found
life’s pattern
night and then day
through our own short day
proving ourselves in some way
that we are offspring of a loving God
sone’s and daughters of a king
following the hard path
back to God in
heaven.
