Our Moment Of Sleep

God gave us the past
So we can be strong
And dream of dear memories
Of all that has gone.

God gave us the present
So today we will live
And make beautiful dreams
Of all that He gives.

God gave us the future
So His promise He'll keep
As we awake in dream Heaven
From our moment of sleep.

Wow!  I love it!  What a wonderful thought...I will always remember this poem.  Have a wonderful day!
God Bless  

Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; run and not grow weary, walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:3

Such pleasant truths so well written.  I like the title and reference to our moment of sleep.  I often tend to think of it as such a long dark period.  Thank you for shedding light on it through this post.

Ah Bob, this has reminded me when all others were crying over death, and Jesus merely looked at it as slumber!

Great flow, great wording, GREAT message!

"God gave us the present
So today we will live
And make beautiful dreams
Of all that He gives."
