I Who Have No One

I who have no one, no one at all Envy others as in love they fall. Sleepless nights, with inward burning, Feeling hopeless, tossing and turning. Lord please forgive the fool I’ve been Hiding from goodness in the shadows of sin. I humbly pray to heaven in space For one more chance to regain my grace. I’ve lived my years indulging myself Leaving decency and principle on the shelf. Now that your light shines on my face I pray for forgiveness in shame and disgrace. All I ask is your life mate for me And I pledge to become all I can be. A soul without love is empty and void No wonder so many become destroyed. Outside my window there’s the thunder of rain And the haunting sound of a far away train. I feel your presence as I silently cry For someone to love before I die.
