Poem:
THE NIGHT WILL FIND US
The Night Will Find Us
May the night come
bringing the sweet aromas
of flowers and sweet dreams...
May the tribulations
of the day fade away under
the covers of the morning and
that my arms find yours hugs
in the delicacy of someone
waiting for hearing you
even if it's just a brief whisper
of a "good night, my love"
May the night find us whole
to share our best portion and
make life the best song
because a life must be
experienced as a whole,
not as a simple version...
Glenda Sunshine (GeldaCastro)
