Standing on the precipice
Going forward
Then
Looking back to see
All those who stand
Stand with me.

Heaven lives
Inside of me
Part of you
All of what we see
Heaven is
Whatever you need it
To be
There around embracing you
Embracing me.
Heaven gives
To those that need
It’s strength, It’s love
Everything.
Let Heaven go
Let it be
Throughout our world
Loving you, loving me.

Seeking answers
Trying to find
My way through
The sadness
I feel here in my mind.
Rain cries tears
From
My mournful eyes
My lips form words
I hope won’t make me cry.
And my feet
My feet run
As fast as they can
From the hurt, anger
I know, I feel
I have.
The only thing left
Is for me to abide
Hopefully tomorrow
The sun will shine
And
The only blue
will be in the skies.

Close by
Then far away
My thoughts travel
Travel
Throughout the day.
I wonder
Will they be right?
Will they say the truth
Or
Will they lie?
Will they protect
The ones I love
Make them laugh
Not
Make them cry?
Questions I ask
Thoughts I wonder
Throughout the day
Close by
Then far away.

Seems
No one is listening
To what I say.
Let it go, let it be
Resting in the knowledge
I am here, I am all
I have to be.

Quietly
I hold you dearly
Singing songs of love
So clearly
Cherished by those that hear
The melody
Quietly
I say words that hold you close
Words of wisdom for love
For
I love you
Oh so much, the most
Quietly
I walk away
Never looking back
Never saying
Or
Waving goodbye
Quietly
I disappear from your life
For
You have learned
All that’s needed.
Quietly
