We go through this life
Thinking we've a good bead on it...

Faces in the shadows
People smirking...

You know
These days...

Have you ever
Watched a child...

All the time
We spend alone together...

It just breaks my heart
To see children cry...

Dark is the night
Soft and warm...

As daybreak comes
It slides in...

You're given life
To embrace..........And to share...

I stand here
In the early morning...

On the mantel
There sits a clock...

The days
They wax hot...
