Good Night Blessings

"The sky prepares the sun for night Where drifting clouds are slowly steeping In tepid pools of waning light” A sense of calm is swiftly creeping Stars gleam outside the window The baby’s in her bed Fireflies dance upon the willow Nightly prayers are being said The hens are in the hen house The donkeys in the barn Mama’s in the rocking chair Knitting socks of yarn Father comes in from the field With a smile on his face This year’s crop has reached its yield Only by God’s Grace 05/17/2021 Written for Choose Your Form 2 Poetry Contest Sponsored by Joseph May
