Day Of Rest Poems | Examples


Premium MemberSunday Is the Day of Rest

So much work to be completed
Sunday laze
I am unhurried
Calm, unconcerned
I have completed one task.

Today is my day of rest.
I will honor it as such.
Honoring my Lord’s edict.
Through prayer, meditation and delightfulness.
I repose on my porch, unhurried.

A plastic bag takes off from my feet
Like a bird in flight; she is carried away
I do not rush after her, knowing what will be will be
God’s wind sends the bag into a swirl.
She is returned to my feet.

I am enjoying my lazy, peaceful Sunday.
I am in God’s hands, 
the pattern of the bag
has shown me this truth.

Premium MemberA Day of Rest

It's late on Friday afternoon
The Sabbath Queen is coming soon
The sun has run her daily course
We've milked the cow and fed the horse
There's only one thing left to do
  ~ With candles lit, bid work adieu

A day of rest
Forget who’s best
And live my day
The best I know how
In every way

Day of Rest

For Christians it is Sunday 
For Jews Saturday 
The idea of 
              a 
              day 
              of 
              rest 
is a beautiful one 
The daily grind 
beats down many 
   leaving them frazzled 
and on edge 
 To refresh the soul 
and make one whole 
and make one's  peace with creation !
Those are the hallmarks 
   of the Sabbath 
Turn on your inner light! 
It is what we must cling to 
if we do not 
             wish 
to be swept away 
in the tidal wave 
known as existence

Sleeping in is such a joy
Still in bed at noon
