Poetry
Loving on my Lord,
burning the midnight oil.
The One who keeps me going,
when life becomes a toil.
All the land is sleeping,
God is ever near.
Whispering encouragement,
that only I can hear.
Smiling as I yawn and type,
the work I must complete.
Reminding me, this too shall pass,
so devoid of sleep.
Reflecting now on all the times,
my God has carried me.
When I couldn’t find the tunnels end,
He shone His Light to see.
Reflecting on the wonder,
of today that flew on by.
Gazing at the velvet night.
Heaven’s diamonds in the sky
Breathing in His Essence,
Embraced in peace and calm.
time to quit the midnight oil,
and melt,
within His arms.

Oh, can I relate. A lovely piece. I especially like that last stanza. Melting into his arms sounds wonderful.
"Give me oil in my lamp, keep me burning. Give me oil in my lamp, I pray." Yes, the Lord can give you a special kind of oil in your lamp when you HAVE to burn it into the night hours. God sometimes is very near at that time and gives you strength. If God called you TO it He will see you THROUGH it...Blessings...Helen
