True Love will Last You came into my life when it was crashing down Everything around me .... muted shades of gray and brown My defiant acts and cutting words you quietly excused With tender words and gentle touch my shattered pride you soothed You kissed away the flood of tears you held me safe and warm You healed my bruised and aching heart, you made me feel reborn. You gave me strength to stand again, to learn to walk alone And the courage and determination, to make it on my own. You gave me hope and joy and love restored my dignity. You taught me life is only what I choose for it to be. Now in the Twilight of our days, reflecting on the past I'm thankful fate brought you to me and proved true love will last. © Sharon Langan 2003 |
