Day
has dawned.
The long night
is over now.
Be still and listen.
There is much to be done.
Look forward expectantly.
New joys and possibilities
await you as you embrace the day.
There will be time for rest as night draws near.

Night
is here.
The long day
is over now.
Be still and listen.
You have done all you can.
Rest in the peace that is God.
Release fear and anxiety.
Pray expectantly for the new day.
What has been done, has been done.  Let it be.
