Darkness Does Not Hide Us

Unto the Lord, there is no night.
His eyes see through the dimmest light.
The darkness is a gift of rest
For all of us who find it best
To sleep within the nighttime's hours.
Some birds seek their leafy bowers
And animals who sleep by day,
Come out to hunt the night away.

This cycle that He's put in place,
Is suited for the human race,
As He decided long ago.
Perhaps He wanted us to know
The moon and stars as they appear
In the highest atmosphere
And understand He meets our needs.
In dark or light, our pleas He heeds.
His love so great, He proved when He
Gave christ to die at Calvary!

BRAVO!!! Oh Betty, this is so very true, this is wonderful! (kiss on cheek) He will always be here for us all, for day is light and night is darkness and He will always guide us through both light and darkness, blanketing us with faith as we sleep and love! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much, God Bless You! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Betty, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

A lovely poem.  Yes He is with us in the dark and in the worst of times.  Joyce

interesting veiw of darkness. Ah, I love the line where you say God creates darkness for us to rest. That remind me some good things of darkness. Thanks.

It's reassuring that GOD never sleeps and is always present to meet our needs during both night and day.  As for me, I definitely am not nocturnal...  I'd make a lousy cat.  And the end of your poem is again very reassuring to know that GOD expressed His Love to me when Christ died at Calvary. This is always a good reminder for us all. GOD bless you and a Happy St. Pat's day to you.  -Bob
