The wind is howling
The night is closing in
Feeling colder

Darkness surrounds me
Stealing something
From my soul

Lights flickering
Looking for the path
Wandering around aimlessly

Hope comes and goes
Dreams fade away
Darkness invades

The Lord is the Light
He can guide my way
Keeping me on the right path

Patience in seeing
Where the path will lead
New visions open up

Paths crossing again
Where and when
Uncertainty remains

Where do I go from here
My life ripped in two
Never thought this day would come
When I would lose you

You’re moving on
I’m at the end of my rope
Not knowing what to do
I still cling to hope

Everything is possible with Lord
This is what they say
I so want to believe that
It is truly that way

Yet still I know
HIS plan and not mine
Is what we are following
All one day will be fine

I must follow my heart
And search my soul
Putting faith in HIM
To show me the goal

Where do I go
I haven’t a clue
I’ll take it day by day
With loving thoughts of you

Beauty is in the heart
In the bird and the tree
Beauty is in the stars
Like in you and me

Beauty is all around
You need only look
And you will see
The beauty you bring to me

You smile with those eyes
Like none I’ve ever seen
It almost makes me cry
That we can never be

When I wander off to think
Your beauty haunts me still
I hope for what could be
Though I know it never will

Your beauty brought me back
When I was feeling low
It kept me going
Oh, I need you so

I know this cannot be
Dream though I may
Your beauty will instill
The hope of a future day

For beauty is within you and me
And in all that we see
Someday though, not too soon
Someone will see my beauty too

When that day arrives
For I know it will come
I will thank the beauty in the stars
That you gave to me

Days have I waited
Nights have I longed
To hold someone close to me

Searching in the light
Lost in the dark
Wandering around aimlessly
Living my life like forced poetry

Reaching for words, scratching for rhyme
One day my search will end
Life is flowing with the words of love,
Words inspired by you

If you were to leave
My life would dead end
No feelings would flow
Through my forced poetry

Sleeping so soundly
Looking so beautiful
Wishing I could hold you
And be in your dreams

Tired and worn
Moving, work and me
Wearing you down
Losing your steam

Dreaming of a life
Where things are better
Than they have been so far

Watching you sleep
Wondering what you’re dreaming of
Wishing it was me.
