Hold Back The Night Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg
Hold Back The Night
Hold back the night. Let not the light
fade and disappear from view
I still have duties yet to do.
Hold back the night I’d fain put right
and leave with honour shining bright.
Mistakes I made as all men do.
before I bid this world adieu
and then accept the fall of night.
I’m truly not afraid to die.
Because I know I’ve done my best
and that is all a man can do.
I hope I’ll be remembered by,
when finally I’m laid to rest.
Those who I loved, who loved me too.

Very strong, beautiful sentiments expressed here. If only a few people remember our words, we have not penned in vain. Shine on, Ivor. Kind wishes, Sandra
We may forget what people have said We may forget their names But we will never forget the way they made us feel. A dear poem Ivor. Very dear.
This is beautiful....no death for you, perish the thought of a world without your words.....we've today lost anothers poems, sad when people just up and go. The title of this is wonderful also.........marci.xo

Both for craft and sentiment here are bright & memorable. Beautifully written and whimsically lyrical.
