Take This Love, But Give Me New Love

Oh, clouded night, as darkness reigns The blood of life pumps through my veins Enough, to let me feel its power Though, I am weak this midnight hour As dismal rain now falls from above I am reminded of my one, true love She came into my life, but fled As now, she’s in another’s bed Oh, God above, how can this be? I am but wanting, to be set free But yet, I remain a captive, torn Now wishing I was never born As darkness now enshrouds my view With eyes well closed, I beg of you Allow me light, please, upon the morn To not regret the day I was born Then, speak of love, I’ll do, refined I will be free, so not confined Allow me love, the wings to fly To pass your rain, there in the sky

as far as wishing you was never born, look at what happen to Geogre Baily in It's a Wonder Life." he was shown all the good he had done in his life. stop and look at your life, this was a great piece very moving, very touching. Thank you for reading my America's Forgotten Heores. and for your comments.
