Travail

"Between the dark and the daylight
When the night is beginning to lower,
Comes a pause in the day's occupation
That is known as (the tortuous hour.)
 ...
And there will I keep you forever.
Yes, forever and a day,
Till the walls shall crumble to ruin
And moulder in dust away."

"There, but for ..."

...not  but for  the grace of God--but for the potential humiliation of a missing-vulnerable-adult alert----go I.

"Ah, bitter chill it was"

  Gone now, for far longer than any of us knew him.  Rest in peace.

   I remember both days, each day incomprehensible, the first unable to understand, the second, not wanting to.

   "The winter of our discontent
    Will smother the trees and flowers,
    But amidst the ice and biting frost,
    May reveal our finest of hours.
    Only in darkness does light exist;
    Only in love will our lives be missed."
