Standing Tall

Written for and dedicated to a friend…

How did we come to this,

when life seemed to be so good.

Did we miss the signs so clear,

and avoid the things we should.

–

Freedom they say,

yet my aching heart feels another way.

To be again next to you,

would release this pain I’m going through.

–

But life takes turns

we can’t always see.

Leading us down pathways to

new beginnings a harsh reality.

–

As the tears still fall

my gentle spirit will stand tall.

As the dawn of a new day,

brings renewed happiness my way.
