Night Prayer

Night Prayer

Thank you my God
for the night,
that inbetween time
when today has gone
and tomorrow has not yet begun.

Help me to tidy away
the cares of today,
and to resist the temptation
to pick up the cares of tomorrow;
that my mind
and body
and spirit
may be at rest
in this time You have given me.
