God’s Blanket

-Danica Loy

Our eyes close.

Darkness consumes us.

A blanket wraps around us

Stitched carefully with love,

Keeping us warm

From the cold chill

Of an everlasting night.

We snuggle beneath

The blanket’s warmth,

Like a warm fire burning

On a cold winter’s night.

The blanket keeps us warm,

Keeps us safe.

Protecting us with His gentle

Hands, which gave us life.

For in His arms

We are reborn.
