Forever

Abiword HTML Document

You’ve been my guide

You’ve stayed by my side

You’ve held me close

When it mattered most

You’ve been the reason

For each and every season

You’ve taken me far

Without leaving a scar

You’ve been the smile

That stayed for awhile

And through stormy weather

I’ll love you forever

You appear in my dreams

Until I burst at the seams

The feeling is real

Something I can’t conceal

God planted the seed

That’s a blessing indeed

The moments we share

Let me know you care

I’ll never let go

Of what helped me grow

Through stormy weather

I’ll love you forever

You are the purpose

That rose to the surface

The joy you bring

Makes my heart sing

It fills every day

In a very special way

I’ll say out loud

You make me proud

Your tender touch

Means so much

Through stormy weather

I’ll love you forever

First Time

The first time

Was in my prime

I fell in love

It felt like heaven above

A man held me close

Like I mattered most

What I felt was real

He helped me heal

God led the way

To a brighter day

Right or wrong

Love kept me strong

The man made me smile

It lasted awhile

He took a walk with me

It was meant to be

I felt brand new

I changed my point of view

The man looked in my eyes

It wasn’t a surprise

He turned me around

Put me on solid ground

We took our stance

Then did a lover’s dance

And well after my prime

I’ll remember my first time

Stepping Stone

I see the stepping stone

It won’t leave me alone

It appears every day

It guides in every way

It shows God’s plan

It tells me I can

It’s the blessing I hold

It’s the story I’ve told

And it’s where I stand

While holding God’s hand

I see the stepping stone

That I know for sure

It makes me feel secure

It gives me strength

As I talk with God at length

It shows me the purpose

That rises to the surface

It teaches me lessons

That always become confessions

And it shows what I’ll gain

Despite heartache and pain

I see the stepping stone

And one thing is clear

God is always near

It’s the love I share

It’s the dreams I dare

It fills me to the core

Then offers me more

It turns a frown to smile

That last awhile

It makes me see

What’s meant to be

It lifts my voice

As I begin to rejoice

And I change my tone

When I see the stepping stone

Healing

Fixing what needs repair

Knowing God is there

Learning valuable lessons

Making a million confessions

Accepting God’s will

Never standing still

Letting go of fear

Holding love near

Turning yourself around

Finding solid ground

Gaining your strength

By talking with God at length

Taking the time

To remember your prime

Rising and falling again

Learning how to win

Seeing your purpose

Rise to the surface

Being filled to the core

Counting blessings galore

Learning to pray

Cherishing every day

Following a guiding light

Praising God day and night

And always revealing

Leads to healing
