I've wandered through the corridors of this life
where "one door closes and another one opens"
searching rooms of happy- and never-ever-after.
often lost in the graffiti etched upon the walls
Sometimes I find a room of merriment
another time I find a place to mourn
Beyond my reach there always seems to be laughter
and oft I cannot find the hushed voices that call
At times I've sat in darkened corner
at times I've hidden beneath unmade bed
at time I've closed the curtains
believing this was all there is
But then He came and found me weeping
broken and on my knees
He knelt there beside me
wrapping me in His loving arms
He whispered not a word until I was ready
to hear what He had to say
but words were never needed
because of the love He gave
Just one look in His eyes and I was free
Love had come to give me wings
He kissed my cheek before setting me to flight
in the garden of life with all its treasures deep
Now with still small voice He walks beside me
never rushed to get to the end of life's path
every now and then we stop to smell the roses
capturing these precious moments with our heart
Today the sun is brightly shining
blanketing the earth in the way peace blankets my soul
but I know the weather often changes
but I also know my gentle Hero will never let me go
Among the forest of life I now wander
heeding nature's melodious voice
and I feel like I'm finally breathing
as my heart sings in joyful celebration
This is why I often speak of Him
for He gives me love as I have never known
He revived my heart with love and acceptance
and in Him I find peace for my soul
He drew me out of corridors darkened
He introduced me to a world beyond fear and pain
and now I walk with love leading
in the light of His loving embrace
where "one door closes and another one opens"
searching rooms of happy- and never-ever-after.
