Bestow To Me These Things Poem by Kay Francis

Take a walk with me
into the forest at twilight
Drape your arm around
my withering shoulders
and guide me down the path
to meet our gray tomorrows

Warm my cool thin lips
with kisses from our youth
and let me gaze into
the blue hot embers that
made my body burn
through out our yesteryears

Protect me from
the frightening things
I somehow don’t remember
and guard the night steadfastly
so I might sleep in peace
with my cheek upon your chest
now dusted with winter frost

Pray my evening prayers
and laugh with me in the morning
So when the daylight begins to die
we can walk hand in hand
into the moonlight
and embrace our eternal night
