I will leave you silently
In the still of night,
When the birds have nested long,
And the moon grows bright.
You won’t see me leaving then,
As in fullest day -
After twilight’s shadows fall
I will slip away.
I won’t stir you from your sleep,
You’ll not see me cry -
I will leave you silently
When I say goodbye.
Sometimes we feel like leaving silently, like just disappearing. In these moments there is no fear, no pain, no sadness Just that enormous longing. a longing to step out We may get out for a while but then our God sends us back Back to complete our task, to share our feelings a little more to make some more positive differences in a hungry world to create more smiles and love some more, The above is just about a train of thoughts that welled up in me after reading this wonderful poem.

No you wouldn't Not with our a fight I will keep my eyes open Even in the middle of the night Well done my friend!
