Always Awake

When the sun rushed To touch the finish line Birds scurried Faithfully following a line Dusk descended on dawn Dewdrops fell on the lawn It’s time, ‘let’s retire to bed A mother to her daughter said. Alarmed by the darkness around When lights were turned off she found The moon parading in the sky Through the window with invisible wings fly “Is that God’s light up there?” She questioned her mother looking fair “Sure, moon is God-given light Replied her mother looking very bright Another question came in a leap “Will He too put it off and go to sleep?” “Oh no, He is always awake dear.” Then, leaving her mother whom she held so near “As long as God is awake I need not be awake No need to shed any tear Nor about darkness anymore fear.” Upon realizing God’s care The reassured child left her cares And fell into a peaceful sleep No sooner, when into her cot she did leap. God is aware Both, about our fears in the dark As well as frustrations that do lark Perhaps you’re experiencing lonely hours With illness making your life taste sour Doubts arise on difficult choice Fears flood your soul naïve to voice Keeping you from being whole Rest assured, God is always awake.
