I herd from John this morning. I trust the Lord will fill the great hole in your life. When twilight falls, and Silence calls to evening prayer Fair forms appear and Hover near about my chair. Soft hands entwind themselves in mine Lips touch my face. Then milesare not And times forgot As souls embrace.
