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.
