(3/8/13)

I found myself swirling in deaths eyes

When I heard your voice in a far distant cry

“Do not leave me; do not go away, I need you

Beside me, I need you to stay”

The current as strong as it pulled me down

But to your love – I was earth bound.

There is a story that you and I must write

Of how love grew wings, and then took to flight.

Battling the under currents that would pull me in

They say with death you cannot win.

The LORD had taken those chains from me

That I carried for so long- cause he knew with you

Was where I belonged, and as those chains fell to the ground

I heard a sweet and gentle sound

“You have been given this second chance

Because the both of you found true romance.

You have shown what it is to love from the

Depths of your heart, and that’s why you’re getting another start.”
