Dark Night Poem by Danny Speicher

Hello again, my dearest friend, my child
It is good to see you again at home
I have watched you wandering the world
I have watched you feel very much alone

You've come back home with tears in your eyes
Another black dusk has darkened your sight
You saw the light on and Me standing there
And came in, weeping, giving up the fight

But, if you could only see what I see
From this window's view far above
But, if you could only see what I see
Through these eyes of pure, perfect love
If you could just see what I see
Within your heart... You would see Me

The world has crushed your spirit and your dream
But, deep within, you still feel the fire
If only you could find the strength to go
Purpose could once again be your desire

But, if you could only see what I see
From this window's view far above
But, if you could only see what I see
Through these eyes of pure, perfect love
If you could just see what I see
Within your heart... You would see Me

Each time through the fire, each time through the flame
Each flaw smoothed, each impurity removed
Each defect, weakness, tested and strenghtened
Each will, in the end, worth and value prove

So, when the darkness quickly drapes the sky
Try to invision, then, what my eyes see
As your heart is tested by the bleak night
And, in that darkest moment, you'll see Me
