Bedtime comes for some of us unready Darkness falls but dark has come already So in the dark on dark we may not see Though darkness falls we are still who will be Tomorrow when the sun comes up again In spite of ourselves because we are we The people sorely tried who loved and lost All then for all when all is what it cost In losing us for us winning to be The rest of the best of us finally Through the certainty of our uncertainty We will be there in the stillness between The dark and the dark in the spark where we mean What for some has become eternity +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMXII
