And if the morning never comes,
I’ll be here for whatever does.
–Paul Zach, If the Morning Never Comes

I keep hoping.
Of course, I do.
Who wouldn’t want
to be seen, heard and loved
by the ones born to do that?

And while You promise
to reconcile all things,
the morning I long for
may never come
in my lifetime.

That’s hard
and sad

and so,
You give me a song,
a place
to weep with You
in this long night.
