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.

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 |

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! ~SM [This message has been edited by my3monkeytoes (07-09-2002 09:35 PM).] |
