ALTER TO NIGHT

I can now see the glistening sun go down
The sky ever so radiant,
Moves on to a new day.
To the trees
The winds seem to sing a new song,
To the evening
Its work is done.
Darkness falls
The sky goes to sleep,
The flickering stars twinkle in the sky
The delightful moon puts on a lovely smile.
Birds are asleep in their nests
A hushed breeze blows into the shadowy night,
The tides are slowly rising
And so is the night.

THE REBIRTH

Today I die,

And today itself I am born again

All that I ever was

I am giving to you now,

And all that I will ever be

Is because you loved me.

I give my hand to you

And vow to be yours forever,

My eyes will seek only you

And my heart will feel complete when you are near,

My body will know only your hands

And my unborn children will be safe in your tender care.

Every breath I take and every promise I make

Every wish that has come through and every dream that will now be lived,

Is all because of you - my love, my life and my greatest companion.
