We are a fancy lot,

our trends, our needs, our visual aids,

yet we need to sleep,

no matter the place or time …

When you glance think of your comforts,

imagine a day without your favorite linens,

such hardships, such unfair realities,

then recall,

imagine …

There are those we take for granted,

we will never see them ,

though some have, and allow us to seek

humility.

Recognize how your stature

measures against one who has none,

yet due to the human condition,

sleep must still happen,

and yes, under God’s eyes,

that is sleep from the weary day.

Our children, beautiful in every way.
