Thus I Wrote

I wake in the morning
My gut tense with fear
Going nowhere fast, revving hard
I’m stuck in first gear

I have a coffee
Trying to clear my head
Before my thoughts spill out
Into something I said

I then think of him
And have done since he died
His gaze unwavering
I never knew him to hide

He never seemed worried
About being left behind
And his ignorance never
Seemed to clutter his mind

Behind his kindness
And out of view
He was on praying terms
With a God I once knew

And was it by accident?
Or was it by design?
That he had a pure heart
And a calm, simple mind

When I was with him
I forgot panic and fear
And basked in the warmth
Of having love near

You get up early
Wash your face
You go to work
Take your place
They all depend on you
You’re always well prepared
They see you smiling
But inside you’re scared

You’re always busy
Always things to do
Work, friends and family
Help see the day through
You just wish sometimes
You trusted someone who really cared
To open up your heart to
When inside you’re scared

Fear grows in the dark
So open up your heart
Let the healing begin
Let the light in

We’re all afraid
When we’re alone
We need love
To help us home
So open up your heart
A problem’s halved when shared
Let the light in
When inside you’re scared

Fear grows in the dark
So open up your heart
Let the healing begin
Let the light in

We floated in the music and voices
And we held each others hand
We said how our lives and choices
Were like footprints in the sand

The whirlpool around us went round
And time stood still a while
My heart drove me on ’til I found
The words to say goodbye

When life blows everything away
There is nothing left but love
When you have nothing left to say
There is nothing left but love

Her lovely face, her giving
Her laughter and her fun
We miss her..all of us living
As we wait for our kingdom to come

On a cold damp Winter’s day
I kissed a Rose and watched it fall
On a tearful Winter’s day
We said goddbye one and all

When life blows everything away
There is nothing left but love
When this is your last today
There is nothing left but love.
