Help me make it through the night
Help me face another dawn
For my faith is out of sight
And my courage nearly gone

Hold me in your loving arms
While I have no strength to fight
Hold me here with all your charms
Help me make it through the night

Take my tears and wipe away
All the grief I have to bear
If you want for me to stay
Give me courage for my fear

I am weak but you are strong
And my battle is my plight
Give me strength to carry on
Till the night becomes the light

In the daylight I can breathe
And I know that I can fight
All I need is time to grieve
Help me make it through the night

All I need is time to grieve
If I make it through the night

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Keth darling sister of my heart and keeper of dreams designs, have you any idea how spectacular this poem is? No probably not since you entirely lack all conceit, then let me tell you darling heart it is awesome, and no I am not just saying that. Naturally the rhythm is perfect and the flow is utterly utterly spot on. Your writing is never less than perfect sometimes however even I am amazed at the beauty you mange to weave through your words. This is gorgeous, and IWIHWT, so very very much.

Perfect writing darling heart absolutely perfect


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire

Kethry~

Did you write this for moi?  Sure feels like it.  Just the thing I needed to read tonight.  I'm keeping this one...mind if I post it within daily sight for a while?  I really like this.  Makes me think this would be a good prayer in times of uncertainty and pain.  Mmmm Mmmm good one!

May love and light always shine upon you!
