Standing Alone

While I’m standing alone

I think of all I’ve ever known

How many times I’ve prayed

How often love stayed

Every time I sat still

As I accepted God’s will

Each new journey

That was meant for me only

How God made a way

Each and every day

My beating heart

And where love should start

While I’m standing alone

I think of the touch

That meant so much

The beautiful place

Filled with guidance and grace

The strength I gained

Every time it rained

What made me sure

What made me feel secure

I think of the smile

That lasted awhile

And being in my zone

While I’m standing alone

Footprints

Footprints appear in the sand

They’re seen all over the land

They show where we’ve been

They show memories of way back when

The strength gained during a storm

How we broke every norm

They show the tears we shed

The life we led

The moments we prayed

How love stayed

They show the seeds we planted

The things we took for granted

All the different days

All the passionate ways

They show solid ground

All the joy we found

They show true love

Every time we looked at heaven above

The God given journey

Meant for us only

They show everything we see

And what’s meant to be

Our difficult past

And moments we made last

Appear in footprints

In Love

The day we met

Is one I’ll never forget

We held hands

Right where love stands

Then took a stance

Before doing a lover’s dance

I thought our moment together

Would last forever

I was sure

I felt secure

The solid ground

Turned me around

And I fell in love

I spend every day

Cherishing you in every way

This is a journey

Meant for us only

You put a move on my heart

From the very start

You’ve a wonder to behold

You’re a story untold

I’m in a safe space

No one can take your place

It feels like heaven above

And I’m in love

While I’m Away

While I’m away

Remember the day

We fell in love

What felt like heaven above

The moments we shared

The dreams we dared

Remember when we held each other close

Like Love mattered most

The nights we knelt in prayer

Cause God was there

And we embraced the purpose

We saw lying at the surface

While I’m away

Remember the kiss

Neither of us could miss

The journey we took

How faith made us look

Our amazing pride

The joy we couldn’t hide

The solid ground

We eventually found

The way we grew

As we shared what we knew

Remember love will stay

While I’m away
