View Me in the Light

The deepest shadow doth compare
Unto the dawn so bright
Why should we have the day
But to compare the night

Thus there is no sorrow
But the kind which we create
The sun sets on the water
The moon rise honors fate

For you can see in darkness
Tis better than the light
When all we have thus to compare
Is the ever darkening night

This is the glory of man
To know what matters most
And of his darkest night
So quietly to boast

So rise with me silvered moon
Shed down upon the storm
Forever remember my bright dawn
The sun which gives me form



Be who you are
And say what you feel
'Cause those who mind don't matter
And those who matter don't mind
-Dr Suess

Thanks Bryan, means quite a bit coming from you!

Be who you are
And say what you feel
'Cause those who mind don't matter
And those who matter don't mind
