I shall not be afraid any more,
Either by night or day;
What would it profit me to be afraid
With you away?
* * *
For there is only sorrow in my heart;
There is no room for fear.
But how I wish I were afraid again,
My dear, my dear!

More quotes by Aline Murray Kilmer

Deborah danced, when she was two,
As buttercups and daffodils do;
Spirited, frail, naïvely bold,
Her hair a ruffled crest of gold.

For life seems only a shuddering breath,
A smothered, desperate cry,
And things have a terrible permanence
When people die.

When people inquire I always just state:
"I have four nice children and hope to have eight."

If I live till my fighting days are done
I must fasten my armour on my eldest son.

I’m sorry you are wiser,
I’m sorry you are taller;
I liked you better foolish,
And I liked you better smaller.
