Rest Gently
Each day has its own struggle
A Short Reflective Poem - Roses in the Alley
Rest gently tonight,
We need our strength for the morning;
Each day is its own struggle,
We must take care.
Do not lose your sight
Through constant overstraining;
We can find enough trouble,
There is no need to stare.
Today has taken flight,
Tomorrow will have its dawning
We can then sift the rubble,
Or find the hope to dare
To rest, gentle in the night,
Washed in its breezes,
And find our ever subtle
Light to patiently bear
The pain of this fight,
Though it is overwhelming
For those who might see
And have the courage to care.
Thank you for taking the time to read! I sincerely appreciate your support.
