The sun is setting
the darkness again comes
What will the night hold?
Love and sweet memories
Death and never ending sadness
Birth with life ahead?
Some close their eyes
Fairys sprinkle stardust
Girl children dream of being a princess
Boy children dream of red fire trucks
Others dream of the love they just shared
Snuggled in their lovers arms
Houses with pickett fences
Babies with gleeful squeals
Some are afraid to close their eyes
Nightmares so horrific of things past
Invade their whole being, never forgotten
No sleep, for the weary, troubled souls
These are the ones who
Welcome the Morning
Relief from the darkness
Escape from nightmares
As the sun rises once more
