When Evening Comes

Evening is a time to think
   and cast your cares aside;
A time to pray and meditate,
   and in the Lord, confide.

Evening is a time to read,
   write letters to a friend;
A time to sit with family,
   to visit, sew, or mend.

A time to ponder in your mind,
   and think your own thoughts
      through;
A time to cuddle little ones,
   and them, to cuddle you.

Evening is a time to dream,
   and sleep in Holy care,
And trust that God,
      is working nights
   to answer every prayer.
