These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Here It Comes

Here it comes. The chill of night
will cause the need to stay
within our homes from bitter bite
of cold beyond the day.

Here it comes. The acid test
of safety for our plants.
Will they survive as humans rest?
Will God protection grant?

Here it comes. I've given all
I know to give right now.
Will life be blest or will it fall
as temperatures low bow?

Here it comes. I'll hopeful be
in peace, that He will do
the greatest thing His Glory sees.
Tomorrow will be new.
