Born Again

Let the sun don't shine today.
Let the moon not come out tonight,
or the stars give their light.

Just let me be alone this night.
Without anybody, just myself and 
my soul. I will reflect on my life and
also my memories.

Don't knock on my door, or call me 
on the phone. I will not answer.
Tonight - I just want to be alone.

What I have done and What I have 
been, will die with me tonight. Life has
not been easy. I had my ups and downs.
But tonight I will die and my past will 
die with me.

Tomorrow when the sun comes out, I will
be born again. The moon will come out and
the stars will shine and a new life I will start...

Keith Bickerstaffe June 4, 2012 at 5:23 PM Often when we have been subject to major misfortunes, and our self esteem is at its lowest ebb, we feel useless to ourselves and all others. Never give up! Work on loving YOURSELF, the love of others and all things will come, and it sounds like you have found your way.

The Situation May 31, 2012 at 8:32 PM this is a good way to start but i think of born again is something you do with Jesus. not by yourself.
