LONELINESS

                      by Miriam Spengler

When the sun sets in the West

And darkness appears in the night

That is the time for a gentle rest

But loneliness is in sight.

I try to say a simple prayer

That encourages an aching heart.

One that shadows darkness into light

When your dear friends must part.

Allow our God to heal us

To chase all your blues away

He will bring rays of sunshine

 If you keep praying day to day.
