When the hours of Day are numbered, And the voices of the Night Wake the better soul, that slumbered, To a holy, calm delight; Ere the evening lamps are lighted, And, like phantoms grim and tall, Shadows from the fitful firelight Dance upon the parlor wall; Then the forms of

Our Father knows what’s best for us, So why should we complain … We always want the sunshine, But He knows there must be rain. We love the sound of laughter And the merriment of cheer; But our hearts would lose their tenderness If we never shed a tear. Our

I’m so confused I don’t know what to do. All I know is I wanna be with you. You make me smile whenever your around. I could just sit and watch you without making a sound. I could talk to you for hours about nothing at all. You make me
