December

 Please last
my December
last long 
as the year
for this love
I am holding
in arms
will bring tears
never
end the laughter
combining
these hearts
or this
mid December
feeling
that again
we'd never part
stay days
turn into waiting
be the memories
we've yet to live
I"ll cry not
for the yesterdays
but the sadness
tomorrows give
stop short
your hour of midnight
as I reach
don't turn away
cast not
this soul to darkness
with the bringing
of new day
I've given
all to living
my faith
the strength
I've shown
so show
to me your mercy
leave this love
I hold alone
