Good Night My Friends

As the day began this morning for me,

I peeked outside the world to see.

The sky was dark, and somewhat foreboding,

but down in my soul, a spark, that kept my thought from eroding.

As I walked the dogs, the light that had been hidden from view,

broke out just a little, and I could see the dew.

It sparkled and glittered, and made my heart glad

as I stepped up my pace, and pictured my dad.

Sitting in heaven, and watching me there,

smiling at me with no hurt and no care.

I caught just a glimpse, then my thoughts turned away,

and focused on what was ahead for the day.

The dogs fed, and walked, and settled back in;

I went off to work until the day's end.

Now back at home, my friends here on line,

bring joy to my soul, and peace to my mind.

As I get ready to lay down my head, my prayer to the Father

my website to take, and keep all my web friends safe.

Forever and always, my friends, you and me,

are spun in a web by the Father, you see.

Kept by His love, saved by His grace,

one day we shall meet face to face.

The day is now over, it's come to an end,

all that is left is to say, "Good night my friends."
