Amen.
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
I prayed for hours
Because I shared Gods will
We understood it was time until
My eyes drew to a close and still
and my mind fell loose
And my thoughts turned to pain
From life's abuse
But instead of dismay
And curses and hate
I leaned on the heart of an angel in my gate
And fast I did sleep for days and days
The moral you see is that only love pays.
