Stood By Me
You silently stood by me in times of need
You were there when I went on my path
To self destruct when death seemed bliss
Where loneliness was my catchphrase
You were there when I needed a miracle
With the sound of my son’s first cry
As it cut through the thin night air of silence
And death was no longer my wish
You stood by me still when I lost all I loved
When I felt bereft lost and without hope
When the sun changed to dust and the
Sound of bird song sounded hopeless
You stood by me when I denounced you
When I gave a soul for the hope that love
Will never be a part of the life I chose to life
When I felt that my life would be for nothing
And now today my inner wish has been answered
At last I know that I will find the peace I so need
Will were I longed to go and be save
Into your arms which will hold me close
