"If you call me up late at night, and you have found that I am still awake...There are days when I don't know who
don't be surprised if I am calling out your name... because I want you here to stay, I want you here with me. I want you here with me, because there is something I want you to see." D. Roberts
is walking in my shoes
talking in my voice
and messing with my head.
Familiar is the lesson in patience
I've walked a thousand miles for loyalty
I've stepped in a thousand traps and mines
life is never easy but love is twice as hard
I've walked a thousand paces further now
through fits of betrayal, heartbreak and loss
I've stepped through fire and hoops again
only to find myself completely changed.
Each and every day I awoke, and every night I
lost sleep, tossed by the bitter storms of rage
in my dreams and still resisting the cover of
defeat by the screams in the darkness of endless nights.
But yet I exhale once more, just a little
opening my arms into the breeze
just to see how it would feel to
breathe some new life in.
Something happened in that moment
a new verve arrived, in ways I didn't know it could
and as I'm looking around, I realize that life has changed
just as I hoped it would.
Yet I could never hope or guess, or even try
to predict just how the pieces will fall
when the universe places them they always
seem to end up just where they should.
Thanks to you; my universe, and to
your creation of love and its gift of faith.
Today you've blessed me in the face of others
who reflect the love that I deserve, in me.
