Night

Sleep

Sleep, needing it for warmth, love, and comfort

We find peace and security in its covers

We’re loved by the bed’s cushion

Taking us away to far away places

Dreams and nightmares cast a mysterious glow

Of dark dreams and angelic nightmares

Forever it seems we are in love

In love with the crescent moon hanging in the night sky

Sleep is wonderful, full of fragrance and peace

Of the quilt’s wonderful soft protection

But now we wake up, feeling a sense of urgency

To head down to the breakfast table and eat

Pancakes, bacon, and ham

We smile.

[John the Baptist]

Indeed, blessed is sleep. Sadly, there are many who get too little of it.
