Let not the sun, go down on today, <br />hear my prayer Lord, hear my Prayer. <br />For tonight the shadows will come <br />and all that is mine will be gone. <br /> <br />Let not the falling shadows trace, <br />a pattern on her ashen face <br />And on her quiet shallow breath, <br />a sigh of life and coming death. <br /> <br />Let not the sun, go down on today, <br />hear my prayer Lord, hear my Prayer. <br />For tonight the shadows will come <br />and all that is mine will be gone.<br /><br />Laurie hill<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/let-not-the-sun/
