Evening Star

To my love wherever you are I pray you shine my Evening Star Sometimes in life we lose our way Fall into the trap of living yesterday Our memories become all that we are For we have not just fell we fell to far It can affect the happy as well as the sad Can’t measure good till you weigh out the bad More we hurt the deeper we fall Be still the darkness of it all At times reflection is a winning game Face the fear of admitting our shame Know that after we process our yesterday We will no longer have that price to pay Once we confess the sins we have done Darkness flees from the light of the Son To my precious love wherever you are Please shine brightly my Evening Star Written to my wife while I was in Prison and lost until we were looking through some old letters.

Old letters hold such vast landscapes of life for all --- we should do a contest on them. I love this write, and hope your wife read your poems to understand the measure of your devotion to her. One love
