I Just Didn't Have The Heart...Until You

It is the heavens that share with me a new color of night
And, Oh, how one Lady shines
Staring at my minds image of you from down on my knees
I think peace has finally touched me this time...

I live my days not knowing honesty even in front of my face
But, YOUR words took me by heart
Without question I believe you'll teach me to fly
And, your wings will be my strength even miles apart...

I never knew a stranger's way of life could be my light
And, I thank the heavens God gave you to me
I just didn't have the heart until you, My Friend
To feel forever here so patiently...


You just reached and from God I was able to hold on
I pray the heavens let me keep a hold so tight
For I just didn't have the heart until you, My Friend
To face another sleepless night...

You're going to set this heart free to things I've never known
And, the hurting hands will soon go away
I just didn't have the heart until you, My Friend
To live just more rainy day...

Help me hold up my head and take the finest of walks
The road has been cold here for years
For you have the arms to hold the hurting kind
And, an angels method to end these tears...

Thank you for finding me out here on my own
I just didn't have the heart to walk this alone
I couldn't end the heartaches I was chosen to live through
My Friend, I just didn't have the heart...until you...

Saun


Sauni :)
Have you ever known the color grey when the nighttime finds you weak
I have, I've walked that road each time; that's where my angel sleeps

Saunni: this was so lovely, but it is I who found a new friend in reaching out to you.  If you reach out, you are never alone!  Thank you for doing this, it is a lovely heartfelt poem.

One of the fringe benefits of posting at Passions is seeing things like this blossom right before our eyes...

Saunni~
She is a lady of so much heart to share, honey.
I'm sooooo pleased you have found her heart as loving as I have.

This is such a BEAUTIFUL tribute to growing friendship within two hearts.

Saunni;
A beautiful and heartfelt tribute to a special lady who has certainly been there for me so many times...and continues to be there.  Friends reaching out and extending their hands and their hearts to another in times of need are what it's all about.  
I am so happy for you that you found her, and that she has been able to help you through the storms of your life.
Hugs and smiles to you, and my wishes that the roads ahead will be filled with sunshine and rainbows.....
