shadows only last till someone carries you

its almost like a poem and a song in one! it would go with acoustic guitar or piano..hmm.

 

so here i sit

under this old tree

its so cold

and i can barely breath

but then i see your face,

i see your face and its so clear

you say child, i will hold you near

 

 

then the rain comes down

against my cheek

i sit and wonder why

because only tears fall on rainy days

but then i see your face

i see your face and its so clear

you say child, i will hold you o so near

 

 

 the next day i trip and i stumble

the ground is so uninviting

ive lost you, i think for an unkown time

its dark, the shadows they linger

until i see your smile

i see your smile and i hear you say

you say child, come grab hold of my hand

 

 

i take a chance and surrender

i find myself walking along the sand

my footprints wash away so calmly

like i never stepped to make them

but then i see your face

i see your face and its shining

you say child, child ive been carrying you

hahah so ...of course i read it really fast
and then i saw this note.
so i had to go back through it.

i love the way that it flows once i did take the time to read it slowly.
