"Keeping Watch"
Five Thirty in the morning, I am Keeping Watch
Keeping Watch Over My Little Home and My Little Baby
His Little Fingers Clenched In Little Fists, His Little Tummy
Full Of Pizza, Warm under layers of Comforters, Exhausted,
Safe, Safe from the Cold Outside as Winter Turns The Leaves Red
And The Nip Cometh Into The Chilling Air, I Prepare for Winter
My Child Theodore Is Sleeping Happily As I Keep Watch Over The Night
I Wish One Could Know How Sweet It IS To Stay Awake While My Child Sleeps!
My Heart Full to Brimming, I Will Wait for him to Rise with morning for work!
Oh Blow, Blow, thou Autumn Chill, I Fear Thee Yet Have Faith In God That
My Husband Theodore and I Shall Never Be Cast Out Into the Freezing Cold!
Oh Lord, Send me Your Homeless, Thant I May Take Them In!  Not One, Lord,
But Many!  I Will Fill The House With The Hungry and Cold.  Lord, Send Them To Us!
If The Homeless I ever see again, I will reach out and take them inside this little Warm home.
Lord, I Pray thee, send the Cold and Hungry and Shelterless To My Door Once More!
There IS Love In This House and Comfort Too.  I Will Feed Them Ramen and have blankets.
Lord, I leave it in thy hands, to send the hungry to me!
In Jesus' Name,
 Amen!
