Holding on, holding close
all that I love and cherish
through
the darkest time.
Let us not be separated
or
hurt in anyway
any kind.
This I ask
I pray
to
the wondrous, great Divine.

Saw my heart filled
With love
And yours with such cold
Not caring bold disdain.
I wasn’t told
You’d soon depart
Or how I’d be shattered
Blown apart.
It seems it doesn’t matter
For that’s what you expect
When the heart
Is torn, ripped away.
Not sure why
I didn’t cry or follow
You out the door.
Instead I closed my heart
Denying for a time
That I wished
You would have stayed.
But now I wait and hope
And pray
That you’ll come back
Someday, someday.

Only can hope and pray
That everything today
Everything
Will turn out okay.

Good Luck America!

It’s going to be okay
All this badness will fade away
It’s going to be okay.
Tears will be for not
It’s going to be okay
On this sad but sunny day
I know, I pray
It’s going to be okay.
