 . . . As the shadows of evening yawn and stretch across open spaces I feel for those souls with the dim, saddened faces Their losses are not just of family and friends But of honest pride, loves' devotion, and promised ammends. They can't see the beauty of a sunrise or moon glow Nor hear church bells sing praises for the blessings I know. So, as the shadows of evening become one soft blanket of dreams I will pray for their healing - blithe redemption in a smile's self-esteem. . . . . . . . . Chris Barker April 2005 ~~~~~ |
