I saw you late last night But my presence you were unaware In the shadows my heart was breaking For I could see your pain and despair Like a phantom I sat in silence And watched you through the night As you slept I peered into your soul And I watched your dreams take flight The dream that flew the most Was one of you being set free To fly away and be happy Leaving behind your fear and agony My heart bled many tears For this soul that’s bound and tied There must be more than this Than this empty feeling inside So I looked deeper into your soul I found buried under some dust A heart made of soft pure gold, Joy, love, happiness and trust I also saw your gentle nature Of loving so tender and sweet Strength, courage and grace Emerging with each heart beat I saw a glimmer of hope Something that you kept I watched it working hard As the dust it slowly swept As this dust is swept away A splendrous place you’ll find Peace will be shared with you In body, soul, spirit and mind I saw you late last night I watched ‘till the break of day And I saw your very essence In such a beautiful way ~Sheri |

I saw you again last night You soul is no longer bound Your spirit was smiling bright For true happiness you have found Just as I knew it would That dust was swept away I knew that your hope could Bring you sweet love one day So for now the shadows I leave Let you embrace your dream come true For you I no longer grieve Peace, love and joy, has come to you You see, I knew it would come to you (I Saw)I'm so happy for you!  Best wishes to you my friend < !signature--> ~Sheri [This message has been edited by Irie (edited 06-14-2000).] |
