&ldquo;But it&#039;s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it&#039;ll shine the clearer.&quot; ~ J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers<br /> <br /> &quot;For I know the plans I have for you...plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.&quot; ~ Jeremiah 29:11<br /> <br /> &ldquo;Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.&rdquo; ~ Corrie Ten Boom


Sleep.
Dreams unending -
Throughout the night -
Unconscious slumber -
A mysterious trance.
Sleep.
We can’t live without it -
Restful naps or quiet times -
Peace at the end -
Of a long hard day.
Sleep.
Time for thinking deep -
And pondering lofty things -
Hopes and hates -
Wishes and regrets -
Sleep.
Half awake, half dead -
Hands folded and limbs limp -
Relaxed, unhurried -
Free from worry.
Sleep.
That blessed time -
At the end of the day -
For rest, relaxation -
And dreams.
