Truly Alone

Four years ago my world was gone,
Somehow I had to learn to pick Up the shattered pieces and go on.
To find the courage and strength to live on my own,
To realize for the first time I was truly alone.
Oh there were friends who were there with kind words
Yet at the end of the day there was no one there
No one to say to me  good night
No one there to hold my hand tight
But as I  look up at the night sky
And  glance at a star in the indigo sky
I smile and say good night to you 
And patiently wait to hear a good night back from you

Touching... longing... emotional. You are never alone; He is with you, always.
