The Paths of Love
Whenever you are near a peace rushes over me
And soothes my deep sorrows
A river of joy breaks through the floodgates of my heart
And carries me away on a continuous wave of compassion
Paths of love are long and narrow
Sometimes they meet other times they part
My road crossed over yours sometime ago
But we could not stop
I just drove right on by you
Leaving my heart behind
I know that I will never find myself in your arms again
And your sweet lips upon mine
This understanding does not stop
The tears that flow down my face
Like dying petals that fall from a forgotten rose
Each day I go on living on the outside
But inside my heart is slowly dyeing
Continually crying out for you
Do not worry about me though
I will be just fine
God is here to help me get through each day
one day at a time.
