To Drive The Dark Away

Marlene Dietrich put it best with her quote
       "It's the friends you can call up at 4 a.m. who matter.
We all need friends that we can call
       To make the late night shadows scatter.
Someone to light a special candle
       So we can see positiveness on the rise,
Just a bit of love light
       To trim the shadows to manageable size.
We all have these late night numbers,
       For without them, life would be too grim.
These numbers should be used freely
       In the dark hours when hopes seem to dim.
But; where we all seem to fail,
       Our best intentions go astray
We forget to call these friends

       At 2 p.m. on a bright sunny day.
