Surrounded by darkness I see a light
It is close yet so far away
All of my life has it shined before me
Guiding me day by day

Brighter it shone with each passing year
Never before has it been so clear
Inside it a figure with arms outstretched
All my hopes and mt dreams she will share

Is it an angel guarding my soul
Soothing my pains and my fear
Is it a ghost of my overworked mind
Once touched will she disappear

Questions abound and answers are few
This struggle has taken its toll
I stagger and fall yet forward I crawl
Bent, not broken, attaining my goal

I slowly look up, before me she stands
My heart and my soul are set free
My goddess of love my life starts anew
As your arms gently wrap around me

I'll show you everything

Lovely, tender write Steve.  You, my friend, deserve no less.  Best of luck to you both!
