Night Falls Over Us The Owls

as night falls it pains me so for i must prove my love in front of a world not worthy of me but still I hender my life in such strife for a pure soul in need of me for I shall not pass in the night as a mere stream at deaths door nor will I lead myself to an early grave before repentance for I am the child of God who made sacrifices by my own faults for I have lived homeless and hopeless life at times but I have never forsaken a life a soul for I cannot lie here and pretend to not know suffering by ommission for god has given me strength far and wide and I shall never turn the other cheek when a loved one needs me for there has been many cold lonely nights where life left me afraid backed in a corner yet I still raised and so shall this life in this day as Nelson Mandela fell short of the glory of freedom as Jesus Died for us as we sleep as night falls on us Written by Yolanda Nicholsen May 22nd 2004 right before my sons graduation Fort Myers Florida
