Bedtime

The day done endured
Bedtime bids time fall asleep
Endure time no more

A haiku after a rough day – prompted by The Daily Post’s daily prompt for today.

‘For in that sleep . . . what dreams may come’

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
– Matthew 7:7-12 (ESV)

I Will Fear No Evil

Moving forth in faith
For I will fear no evil
My God is with me
