A poem written in quasi sleep depravation of being a dad to a toddler again. It can be read up and down. No promise it is coherent or good.
In the nights to come
We know what was and is,
we know what will become when,
We know of restful nights to come
but in the nights when we attempt to sleep and dream as one when
reality suddenly alarms and wakes us with a noise louder than silence can bear
it gives us reminders of others who need us and our care
and we will rejoice in the Foundation on which we are built,
when little foxes try to ravage our vineyard,
we will trust in the Vine Dresser who tends us deep in to the nights
He who rejoices with us in the Day to come and in the Light,
It is He whom tends to us in the Night,
It is He who watches over us with Delight.
