The Key

As dreams fall away, Leaving the softest memories, Delicate as the newborn babe, Who lights the soul with his smile, And, lets the joy seep through the nights. As morning whispers its grace, Inviting the music of birds who praise, In notes of laughing adoration, Beautiful songs, breathed into the heart, Who knows this is God’s gift to us. As shadows erase the sighs, Mysterious wishes, hopes and prayers, Dwindle in the gentle skies, Trembling like the most fragile leaf, Who is reassuring us there is Spring. As love becomes less fragile, In rhythms of passionate murmurings, Despising the wrath that decides When hearts become bitter, less adoring, Without the music of love’s kindness. As we reach beyond the darkness, Into the spirit of love that never fails, Love that inspires and always believes, Love that remembers the sincerity In giving without expectation of gaining anything. As my mind drifts toward the seas, Where waves toss my feelings, absently, Erasing the fears with faith that can see, Beyond the doubting, into the belief, Where life, I see, is a gift of His creativity. As I weep for the times I lost, When nothing, no one, knew the cost, I was paying for the troubles, the flaws, That left me feeling sure I was adrift, In the darkness I had feared. As life moves on, I follow the One Who embraced my soul, taught me to know… He is with me when I weep – when I laugh, And, when I need Him the most… He never leaves me alone – He is always loyal. As I let go of the past, the doubts, I find His love can bring me through each storm, Relieve me of the heartbreak, quiet the worries, Fulfill my soul so that I always know… With God, anything is possible! With God, my heart and soul are restored, From the worst that I’ve known, From the fears and tears, From the faults and flaws, From the moments that haunt me with… Memories of struggles and strife, That will be completely gone in the afterlife, When I meet the One… Who showed me that His love, Could silence every doubt… help me to find out – He is the key to my life, my love. He is the One sent from God above!
