The night washes over me
And I sink deeply into you
I feel thanks welling within
For the day gone by...
Challenges I have faced
Words spoken and food eaten
Services given in your name.
I welcome this dark time,
My time to rest
Fresh to meet the challenges
Bearing the name of the new day.
I am alone in the night
Communing with the Gods' my ancestors,
They bid me "Goodnight" and I whisper softly,
"I give you my dreams for safe keeping,"
"And my last thought of today before sleeping".
