The Message

    Once more you went to bed with aching heart;
    it’s one more sleepless night inside your world
    of thoughts and shadows; and now walls converge
    around your mind, as dreams are bent and swirled.

    From somewhere, through the old clock’s endless tick,
    it’s reassuring timeless, steady beat,
    arrives a whisper from beyond the moon;
    it hovers quietly above your sheet.

    But look: a note had been so gently placed
    beneath your pillow; doubtlessly, thereby
    an angel came, from an exalted sphere,
    to comfort you with verses from on high.

    I know that, in His never-ceasing care,
    He sends to you, tonight, from high above,
    the peace of mind that you are searching for;
    it’s found within His light of constant love.
