The Road, Part Two


This road has led me places
I might wish I could forget
A million miles and sleepless nights
That left my pillow wet
Broken bones and broken hearts
Wrong turns along the way
Regrets and disappointments
That haunt me till today
But every time I stumbled
And each time I got burned
Was one more chapter in the book
Another lesson learned
A fool in foolish company
With nothing much to gain
Trying to find remedies
To somehow ease the pain
But then I came full circle
To a place lost in my past
And found what I’d been searching for
A love I know will last
 I’ll never walk alone again
 Beneath that heavy load
And I will treasure every step
Beside her on the road

Gratitude



Not a day goes by that I don't think
How much my life has changed
My clouds replaced by rainbows
My heart's been rearranged
The darkness I had known so long
Has given way to light
Your sweet love brightens every day
And comforts me at night
I'm not sure what you love in me
But grateful that you do
Your heart is like no other
And my heart belongs to you
If we make it to a hundred
The time would not allow
To repay all you have given me
But this I promise now
To love you like no other
Beside you every mile
To try to keep you happy
And always make you smile
The way each time you look at me
That takes my breath away
A love that fills my heart with joy
And strengthens me each day
