A Sleepless Night

The demon child
screamed through the night
angry and wild
confused with fright
Her teething pain
made her complain
in fear, poor dear

Let Your Love Shine

In darkest night
deepest despair
you'll share delight
if they are there
For in the end
the love you tend
will bloom o’er gloom

There comes the time
when we should sleep
when climbs the rhyme
up from the deep
Not when we choose
to have our muse
disburse some verse
