Stepping Stones

If I am to hear your message As an echo in my mind I shall hear the words of love I will feel the laughter of our memories And with me I shall carry them Throughout eternity they will remain For my heart is filled with you Your words will be a beacon Guiding me through the darkness Bestowing upon me the light to find myself Giving me the courage to trudge forward My head held high and my soul protected I will hear you whisper, “All is not lost” I will know that life is to be lived As I search my soul for the path The road that is to be my destiny The one that will lead me back to you Strength, hope, and peace will find me I will find that your words still live within me For they are not mere words in my memory But stepping stones on the path to happiness Copyright © 2009 Lena “Lolita” Townsend
