Don&#039;t part with your illusions, for when you do, you may still exist, but you have ceased to live. <br /> ----Mark Twain

Come snow while the morn is of thy breath,
While the leaves blanket the ground.
They had never been afraid of death,
And so passed without a sound.

A ghostly silence hangs in the air.
Memory of days now gone;
Of youth and of a forgotten prayer.
Both never reaching the dawn.

Nothing hurts so much as the waiting.
No beauty but a cruel sting.
A child for mother is crying,
So it is I weep for spring.

When life runs anew in the valley,
As the birds burst forth in song,
All born again that ended sadly.
I pray it will not be long.
