Loving For A Night And For A Day Poem by James McLain

Could you bear me for a night and for a day.
Look now Dear, it's never as it seems,
Do not the mountains clear the cloud's away?
The wind and rain and how it stains your face,
Could you bear me for night and for a day?

I would love you if I might,
Look to so soon our life it will be gone.
Buried in the depths of ever lasting night,
Your pain denied to me, I'd fill your day's.
And while the night's you give to me,
Neither, both to each, would ever to one say.

A stranger loved you once, but not enough,
Buried pain inside your chest the hurt you feel.
Forever day it seems, the night's aren't long,
The path down from the top, I hear the waves.
