Sunlight comes streaking in stealing the last rays of the day- That's when the memories come crashing in - God make them go away! They come and haunt my dreams in the blackness of the night- Shadows that reach for me - Horrors that I can't fight! They took away my innocence- all the shadows lurking there- Stealing away my childhood- Hands roaming everywhere! Lord, take away the memories that haunt my very soul- That leave me in a world of my own- lost...alone...and cold! These shadows have always followed me - as a child I ran- Shadows lurking - always reaching- Why can't someone understand? Images in the night - hiding in corners- waiting for me- Faces glaring - Shadows pouncing- That the rest of the world can't see! Lord, take away these monsters that invade my very soul- That creep in the night all around me, Lord, please release their hold! They haunt me in my dreams - in the blackness of the night- Shadows that reach for me - Horrors that I can't fight! Authors Note: This is dedicated to my best online friend...Ross Ostrander. He has been with me thru thick an thin! This one is for you, hon.

The shadows bring the demons and the demons are always there. Just like the Devil in his lair. Bow before the Heavens and praise your God above, and he will chase the shadows away with his love. Bill
