When I was young, I thought naps..
were crap!
Never understood, why anyone would..
choose to sleep and waste the day,
miss life as it parades before us,
days then were fun,
God would never bore us!
I would wonder , why my dad..
fell asleep anytime, anywhere~
it made me mad!
why old people would sleep in the midst of a party..
or on the bus or at the movies!
made no sense then,
my youth could not understand.
Nowadays I have a contrasting point of view
tried and true theory, but , to me brand new.
when life surrounds us,
when pain and sorrow prevail..
there is an escape route provided,
where every trouble can be "hided"
in sweet rest, in the arms of God,
held up by His Son..
he has supplied every answer
to every need
for every problem
at anytime, anywhere,
no reason needed, no questions asked
we can rest in the arms of the Saviour,
He promised rest to the weary,
and rest He does give...
I fell asleep today...
in the Saviour's crib.
