My Friend At Rest

You see, I have this friend
who graces me from time to time
with her presence.

She abounds with energy
and loves to tweak
on a substance
of dark, hot liquid
we both love -
loaded with creamer
and adds enough sugar
to make me take a look at her
and wonder.

You see, I am thankful
for every waking moment with her.
These times intensely delightful
until quick moment come
where she curls up
and eyelids close.
Heaven and earth could shake
and never could
sweet slumber, from her
take.

I always enjoy her when she sleeps.
I smile at these times with her.
"Rest is spiritual, you know..."
we always tease.

Friend, I am glad you can rest.
You know things are under control.
With me, no one will disturb you
or cause you agitation
or things become unsafe.
There is sweet rest in the safety
of sweet friendship.

So sure, you do rest a lot
when together we are.
But I love it and you.
Won't you come again soon?
I'll have a pillow and blanket
ready for you.

Zzzzzz.
The night passes
and the daytime comes.
The Son of righteousness
unveiling His glory of redemption
through His daughter born
from above.
