Turning
by: Jennifer Patino
Night, my friend
Shine your starry eyes upon me
And watch over me as I struggle to slumber
Pain, my enemy
I will fight to the death if need be
And battle with smiles and with hope and belief and wonder
Love, my medicine
Better than any pill, or bottle, or cup of herbal tea
Love and love alone keeps my strong will from going under
And love is what I have
And love is all I need
