As shadows grow long
In the twilight of my years,
I fear not the night.

For night's sweet embrace
Opens worlds of joy and peace
Where I be with One.

I fear not the night....  Love that line.
It is not the night I fear,  but the day,
20 years from now when I look back,  saying
to myself that time has sure flown by.
For it is,  and it does...and I do...

Thanx Linda...

Here I go again! Desirous of a steamin' cup of hot cocoa when I see your name! But now I want some Cocoa Puffs as well! You're going to make me fat! --and that's okeydokey, because then there's more of me to love! lol

Thank you for your generous words, however, you underestimate your own writing ability! Your talent far surpasses your young years!
