It’s hard to see with eyes shut tight

and harder still in darkened night

Hard to know what’s coming next

and harder still to pass the test

But when I open up my eyes

I see a sun begin to rise

Promise comes with morning light

and love is there in childlike eyes

that see the day and hope for more

that yearn to walk on distant shores

that worry not and trust that day

will come again somehow someway

So as I lay me down to sleep

I’ll not fear night

but rest

in peace…
