Paul Schneiter Poet Rhyme

Eventualities

Sometimes in a black-veiled night
When sleep eludes my frame.
My mind succumbs to fright
Of things too wretched to name.

I ponder the possible eventualities,
"What if this?"  "What if that?"
They seem to be tenable realities,
And I am further taken aback.

One dark thought leads to more
'Til dawn's birth grants reprieve.
But other such nights are in store—
A specter I tremble to conceive.

Sweet Savior watch this night with me,
Bless me with the peace thou giveth.
From every fear let me be free
For I know of a surety thou liveth.
