Small Beneath The Glory Of It’s Wings, It Softly Sings, And No Story Can Tell What It Has Seen.

Lessons That Didn’t Last, We Rearrange The Past To Manufacture A Story Of Subdued Glory. But Who Were We When First We Stood Before The Door, The Promise Of Forevermore In Our Hands, Not Yet Knowing What We Knew, We Blindly Stepped Through?  *Paint By Numbers* While
