Night Grows Longer And Longer Poem by Shalom Freedman

It is too dark for it to be morning
But I have been awake for hours
Night grows longer and longer
And I long for the light of day more and more
But Life has become so much darkness
I do not know
If I will find my way to long days ever again
I pray to God for the morning light
For this day also
I know I will be answered
In a couple of hours from now
Life that I love will begin with the light
Night is too dark for me
And it has already grown too long
I am afraid.
