In Remembrance
Night Woes
Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning. Psalm 30:5 NKJV
[NaPoWriMo–Day 6] [April 2014 PAD Challenge–Day 6: Night Poem]
The Thief in the Night
Beware of the thief in the night
He only comes to kill, steal and destroy
His entrance is a sorry plight
To remove peace and take away joy
He only comes to kill,steal and destroy
His agenda includes an evil plan
To remove peace and take away joy
And he uses confusion and chaos whenever he can
His agenda includes an evil plan
He kills hope and destroys dreams.
And he uses confusion and chaos whenever he can
His purpose is to remove all good it seems
He kills hope and destroys dreams
His entrance is a sorry plight
His purpose is to remove all good it seems
Beware of the thief in the night

A sliver of the moon
Hangs alone in the dark sky
Sentinel of night

Starlight
Midnight
Cold December night
A single star shines bright
I give thanks for its sparkling light
Tonight

Out of the Cold
Dark chilly Fall night
Time to light the fireplace
Warmth enters the room
I give thanks that I am home
I pray for those who aren’t

Time with Teens
Today
Back to School time
Two grand daughters shop together
As different as night to day
I’m tired

Life
Day turns into night
Another sunset comes and goes
Counting life’s blessings
I give thanks to God above
For the gift of another day

Farewell to a Friend
On this night in June
I must bid a friend goodbye
My tears speak instead
