When
the journey
is quiet
when I know not
what
I seek
that’s when
I must
venture
to
the other side
I must seek
seek.

I know
You’re not here with me
I know
You’ve been called away
To take care of someone
Who needs you
More
More than me
I know
You will be back
You’ll be here
Once more with me
When I need you
Need you
Desperately.

Heal me
Help me be the one
Who I can revere
Smile, laugh at
From now to eternity.
Let my emotions
Flow with cheer
Keep a smile upon my face
Even in times
That are so hard, so severe.
I must not
Believe in trouble or hardship
See, be the light
That guides lost souls to their own
Lofty atmosphere.
– Be the one you want another to be –
