The Song That Is Your Name

Sorting through the issues
Up all day and night
A million cried in tissues
Just can't find what's right

Life is slowly sailing
Farther from my sight
Don't always see it trailing
Through the hazy light

I wish I could be sleeping
Tight within my bed
But, my mind keeps creeping
Endless in my head

And, so, the walls are closing
There's nowhere left to hide
An end to all my prosing
I have nothing left inside

So now, my head is empty
But, my heart, is truly filled
It's your love that drives me
I could not be more thrilled

Say you'll never leave me
I will do the same
I, will, forever love thee
And the song that is your name

                 LYNN
