May it be an evening star,
Shines down upon you.
May it be when darkness falls,
Your heart will be true.
You walk a lonely road;
Oh, how far you are from home....

Mornie utulie (darkness has come),
Believe and you will find your way.
Mornie alantie (darkness has fallen),
A promise lives within you now....

May it be the shadows call,
Will fly away.
May it be your journey on,
To light the day.
When the night is overcome,
You may rise to find the sun.

Mornie utulie (darkness has come),
Believe and you will find your way.
Mornie alantie (darkness has fallen),
A promise lives within you now . . .

A promise lives within you now . . .

Humans are capable of doing incredibly beautiful things. This is one of them.

In 1987 I had a nervous breakdown. I spent 3 months in recovery and reading The Hobbit and LOTR. Today, I reflect on a wonderful life filled with a most loving wife. The Heavenly Father holds my hand and I ask on bent knees for his forgiveness and continued love and guidance. To all of you who seek, the door is always open. Yeshua saves.

Now that I am 74, the same when I was young and knew nothing, but then perhaps I did ....

In case anyone wants to know:
“Mornië utulië” and “mornië alantië” mean “darkness has come” and “darkness has fallen, ” respectively. The language is Quenya, which is one of the Elven dialects from Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings.
