Like a Thief In the Night -Thinking of September 11th
Another morning I got up and my thoughts returned here. Just wanted to put something of
the memory that lingers still today from scenes we saw of September 11th.  Scenes we would
like to but will never and should never forget.  I do not wish...

Like a Thief In the Night
Like a thief in the night the Lord will come,
calling His people, His children home.
Many folk will be raised up on high,
to that heavenly Paradise up in the skies.

Yet woe to all you who have left it to late,
by not trusting God but relying on...

“Time is the thief you cannot banish.”

Phyllis McGinley,
Writer, 1905-1978

When I was a child I longed to be older
so I could be done with childish things
Why Time, did you move so slowly?
Then before I knew it, 
you stole my childhood from me.

I never realized I was...

A Thief In the Night
An Englishman's home is his castle,
A saying well known to most.
A place where you can relax,
A place with no fear of attacks.

An Englishman's home is his castle,
A place to store all life's treasures.
A place to keep all ones memories, 
A place to enjoy all life's...

Sorrow paid me a visit like a thief in the night,
Stealing my happiness with sinister delight.
He replaced it with pain before my very eyes.
My lover now I did not even recognize.

Until then he was the man of my dreams.
When he saw me coming, he would...

" The Thief In The Night  " ....


Like a thief you came into my life ,
Cutting away my health with  your knife ,

Silently  you came with no voice,
Taking away that which I use to rejoice,


Leaving me a shell of a man ,

Thief in the night that stole my heart
Shot me with your poisoned dart
Took from me against my will
Be careful of that which you steal

Why do you have to be so obtuse?
Do you really think I like the abuse?
Dangling your promises on a thin straw
Promises broken...

Why do the want some thing that is not their?
Why do they call out to man and never learn form their way?

The Thief In the Night
THE THIEF IN THE NIGHT

When the desert sun melted away
The armour I wore for protection,
Leaving me free to find my oasis
Of unalloyed pleasure, offered 
Without stultifying conditions,

I no longer looked back, anxious 
Of retaliatory strike on my spirit,
And in that momentary flash, knew 
There would...

He looks intently into the vast domain of things
 Looks inside the human heart filled with evil schemes
 Watches for one to open up the door a chance to explore
 He sits on high in it's vast domain watching all...

The Soul Reaper, the Thief In the Night
The day for reckoning is quickly coming into it’s own,
One of the key players will be bound and sent to the lake of fire for the seeds that he has sown.

He’s looking to steal your soul so you best be on guard,
He said I know...

A Thief In a Night
I didn’t see him comin till it’s too late. 
Tall, milk chocolate, and charmed me with a smile. 
He has a scent to him, that just hypnotizes me, and finally puts me in his trans. 
His kisses so seductive. His touches make me melt. 
And...

unannounced rob you blind
let her come a thief in the night
in one final peaceful breath
lingering dignity in the balance
death not being the worst of fate

Even before we met, you were stealing my heart
Like a thief in the night, as quiet as can be.
Now that you have it, we’ll never be torn apart.
For, what you have taken comes with the whole of me....
