For The One I Love


I had given up on reasons to believe
That love would ever find this aging heart
So far into this tapestry we weave
Much closer to the end than to the start
Counting all the losses I have known
The loved ones I had lost along the way
Afraid this tender heart would turn to stone
A victim of the price I had to pay
I focused on the things that I could change
Believing love could only live in dreams
I tried so hard this heart to rearrange
Where everything is simply as it seems
Then I opened my heart up to a friend
When the walls I had built came crumbling down
She taught me how to somehow smile again
She healed me every time she was around
In time my heart began to realize
The moments that we shared were far too rare
This lady with this kindness in her eyes
Taught me once again that I could care
And then one day she opened up to me
And spoke the words I never thought I’d hear
A love I never thought could ever be
Was given by an Angel I held dear
The heart I had somehow forever changed
With the magic of her tender loving touch
She filled it with her love and rearranged
This heart of mine that needed her so much
And now my world is filled with love and light
My lonely heart has learned to love again
This love we found together is so right
And I will always love you, Norma Lynn
