I know I'm writing nothing original here when I say that this year has been at least half a lifetime, or at least ten years long!

When my eyelids fall so heavy And my thoughts are all of You, I know I'll soon be sleeping until the morning's dew. The moonlight falls so quietly upon my windowpane and the stars begin to twinkle as the angels say Your name. I try so hard to stay awake So I can really pray, … Continue reading Until the Morning’s Dew
