My heart goes out to my wife.Her friend Cindy is fighting the battle of her life. Donna is standing strong with her good friend. 
Anyway it’s all been on my heart lately as she’s been staying with Cindy some. So I started writing the other day. At first it seemed like I was writing something to the Lord, which is kinda different for me. Then it seemed like I was writing to Donna. Lol then I couldn’t decide if the personality of the song was to Donna or the Lord. Finally it dawned on me. Which was it? Her? Or Him? The answer? Yes. 
It’s raw and unpolished. Kinda had the tune to Colder Weather by Zack Brown in my head as I was writing if you can hear it. 
I call it
“Captivated“

Something about You always pulls me in
And I cannot look away
Every hope or dream I’ve ever had 
I see within your face
I’m captivated 
.
And there’s a pain in you
That I can not comprehend 
Cuts through me like a cold north winter wind 
Yet it warms my soul 
And the more I feel alone the more I feel I know you
I’m captivated
.
Your eyes .....
They burn right through me
And reveal every secret about me that I could never keep
I’m amazed ....
Somewhat afraid....
Yet I’m not ashamed
I’m captivated 
.
And there’s a pain in you
That I can not comprehend 
Cuts through me like a cold north winter wind 
Yet it warms my soul 
And the more I feel alone the more I feel I know you
I’m captivated
.
You’re my hunger in the pain
You’re my longing in the rain
You’re every teardrop that I’ve cried
Every smile I’ve ever smiled 
Every laughter of every child, that there’s ever been
You pull me in
I’m captivated 
.
Your hands ...
Have never been cold
Somehow I know
They could hold me through a midnight storm
And when the storm comes 
And you hold me
You and I and the storm
That makes three
And I’m not alone
I’m captivated
.
Your Love...
Is more than I can fathom
Like a raging river running
Overflowing and flooding everywhere I’ve ever been 
And that something about you always pulls me in
And I cannot look away
I’m captivated
You’re captivating.
