Just This Once

maybe just this once today i'll say that i miss you more everyday maybe just this once today i'll pray that God will hear me while i pray maybe just this once today i'll tell my heart be patient and wait maybe just this once today i'll tell my tear's don't go just stay maybe just this once i'll find a little healing with the passage of time maybe just this once today i'll clear my mind of dark debates and signs maybe just this once today i'll forget my doubt's and fears maybe just this once today thoughts of you will disappear maybe just this once today i'll get you off my mind maybe just this once today memories won't hurt my pride

This is a very emotional lyric John, as in poetry soups characterization of 'lyric"...'the thoughts of the poet'. I thank God for this wonderful avenue, 'poetry'... and tissues ! *smiles* Great write Sir ! james
