Pale white lamps hum through the night
Clock ticks soft in the sleepless quiet
You sit close by a trembling frame
Humming notes no one ever claimed
Eyes grow tired though your smile stays clear
Calm pours courage through every fear
Each falling tear finds a resting place
In your steady patient grace
Stars lean low through the window glass
Time moves slow as the hours pass
You breathe strength into fragile lungs
Faith laid down upon weary tongues
Love reveals in the smallest dose
Whispered warm where the shadows rose
Sacred truth through the silence flows—
Healing grows with hands that never close
