Sheri Evans Poet Rhyme

When Peace Arrives

Sunshine kisses
      the morning sky,
   which awakens me from sleep.
And the clean crisp air
      carries the smells of life,
   through my windows it does creep.
Then, later in
      the evening hour,
   the sky where rain is from;
Replenishes
      the thirst for life,
   before the night has come.
And as I lay
      my head to rest,
   I call the Lord and pray.
Thankful for
      the life he gave,
   so we could live today.

Gershon Wolf June 2, 2020 at 6:56 PM This is such a gorgeous, positive prayer, Sheri. So elegantly and meaningfully penned. I love how you've centered it upon waking and retiring. Those really are the twin axes of prayer. Superb! ~ Gershon Sheri Evans June 2, 2020 at 7:41 PM Thankyou for your continued encouragement, I sincerely appreciate your comments and time. Be safe always
