Walking Through the Valley All On My Own

Walking through the valley all on my own

Written By Dean Masciarelli

Walking through the 
valley all on my own 

Searching for a reason 
why I am still around

Because I never thought 
that I 
could live for so  long

Because I thought I 
would 
end up dying young

But I am honestly 
grateful 
that I am still around

Because I still have a lot of 
living to do in this life of mine
before it’s my time to be gone

I just wish that I didn’t 
have 
to spend it being alone

Because I really wish that I 
could have a companion
who could love me as 
I could love them in return

Hopefully the good Lord 
will 
hear my prayers in Heaven

And he will answer every prayer 
that I have ever prayed to him

In my heart I know he will bring 
me a 
partner and a mentor and a friend

But it will be in his time and not in my own 

So in the mean time I will keep the faith
and I will do my very best to remain strong
