My Favorite Lullaby

 

The day had been long and hurried,
But filled with great delight,
And it was with satisfaction
That I welcomed the night.  
 
I settled in, said my prayers
And tried to get some sleep,
But my thoughts were restless with
Their own timeline to keep.  
 
I almost gave up, but just then
I heard my lullaby.
The one sound that lulls me to sleep,
And I don’t have to try.
 
A gentle rumble, distant, soft,
But drawing slowly near.
A flash of light, the rolling sound
Of thunder, close and clear.
 
I know that most people don’t sleep
With that much noise about,
But for me that song from heaven
Is what sleep’s all about.
 
My weather app had said no rain
Expected for two days,
But God’s thoughts are higher than man’s,
His ways are higher ways.
 
I settled in and said thank You
To Him who sent me this.
I felt like a small child, once more,
Who got a good night kiss.

Isaiah 55:9
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
 
Psalm 107:8
Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man!
