NOW I LAY ME
by Bill Kochman
09-10-2012
Now I lay me down to rest,
I pray the Lord I've done my best.
I gave this day unto You,
Thank you Lord, You saw me through.
Nothing lacked, my needs were met,
From early dawn, until sunset.
You gave me life another day,
To walk along Your narrow way.
Now I sleep, I close my eyes,
Renew my strength, for new sunrise.
With Your thoughts now inspire me,
That morrow's work, may please thee.
This is an updated version of the original six-line poem which I wrote on September 10, 2012. This new, expanded version has twelve lines so that it matches the length of all of the other mini-poems I have written to date.
