Walking Through the Valley All On My Own

Walking through the valley all on my own

Written By Dean Masciarelli

Thursday, July 22, 2010


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
