Who Would Have Known
8/15/12
A hope, a light within a spike
Of darkness dropping slowly
Aching for the lonely, yet happily
I find myself spinning with you
In a world of my own—childhood blooming
Laughing and twisting,
Climbing and falling,
You’re a beautiful light that has revealed this place to me
In only a moment, you have led me to peace
I ached for the feeling for so long
And you nourished me with honesty and happiness
We stumbled together dizzily
Surrounded by children beaming with us—giggling
Pushing them round and round
So they can visit the world of their own too
I close my eyes and spin once more
You laugh as I go out of control
You laugh and I scream
But then I laugh too :)
And when you spin I laugh just as hard
And help you up when you clumsily fall
What an adorable, honest light you turned out to be!
Who would have known we would be here?
Who would have known I could make you laugh?
Who would have known I could find you in this world?
I suppose God had a plan
I saw you and somehow I knew,
You were more than what they say
I will never forget our day
And I will certainly never forget you 8)
