Troubled Soul

You took the time it took to notice Me You said your troubled soul was plain to see You held my hand and led me home at a time when I was lost You laid yourself on water ...and I crossed You laid yourself on water and I crossed You laid yourself on water and I crossed You placed yourself upon the line not caring of the cost You laid yourself on water and I crossed You picked me up each time life knocked me down I thought these feet would never leave the ground Each journey had it's price and it was you who climbed the cross You Laid yourself on water and I crossed You laid yourself on water and I crossed You laid yourself on water and I crossed You placed yourself upon the line not caring of the cost You laid yourself on water and I crossed I've looked to you to know what's right from wrong And when the darkness falls and light is gone You've kept the darkness from my door and saved me from the frost You laid yourself on water and I crossed

This poem definitely readings like a haunting lyrics or song. "You placed yourself upon the line not caring of the cost" - loved that line, and I enjoyed reading the poem. Thank you for posting and sharing. : ) Always, Laura
