As Day Turns To Night

As day turns to night and night settles in
Comes the time I love best, my thoughts begin
First remembering moments that transpired 
The kind actions of many that inspired.

A smile from a stranger, touch of a hand
Tales of survival in a troubled land
A time to reflect, a time to inspire
Let go of all pain, release the quagmire.

I prepare for sleep, and enter my lair
Pain from before, cannot follow me there 
This is my time to prepare a new way
Let night heal my soul, welcome a new day. 

Pray let me do better, let sleep begin
As day turns to night and night settles in.
