Only You Make It Possible For Me

ONLY  YOU  MAKE  IT  POSSIBLE  FOR  ME



Only you  make it possible  for me:
. . . To question the way of this Life  and find my only  reply  - 
Eye-to-eye,  hand-in-hand,  step-by-step with thee;   


. . . And to find rest for a moment  to plea  -
To  tell this  impossibly wearying,  worrying  world  why
Only  you  make it possible  for me;


. . . And that Christmas winter’s  gifted spree 
Is mere abandonment  in icy wasteland  unless  am  I        
Eye-to-eye,  hand-in-hand,  step-by-step with thee;  
  

. . . And that  after May sunrises of spring-delight  I see
Happiness  is within reach after a dark night  - aye,
Only you  make it  possible  for me;

. . . And that I will not take the path to  heaven’s  glory
With all its purposeless joy  and eternity  except   it lie   
Eye-to-eye,  hand-in-hand,  step-by-step with thee. 
   

In  this world  every day I move,  feel,  and see
But my sole response   is  simply to sigh  -
Only you  make it possible  for me, 
Eye-to-eye,  hand-in-hand,  step-by-step with thee.  

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Written  for  Catie  Lindsey's  Contest  "Villanelle Me"
