"Destined Minds"

I HELD ON...

I held on but you let me go
And now I must slip away
from the life we once knew

I held on but you let me go
and I fell heavily from
the heartache and pain

I held on but you let me go
in fact you never saw me
falling and missing you

I held on but you let me go
and you didnt realise that
you were falling too

Falling, falling heavily away
from loves protection and then
I realised that you were walking away

You gave up on love
you gave up on us
you gave up on the future
and let selfishness destroy us

So now when I reach out for
my hand to be held I dont see your
face but the face of God and friends.

When I look for comfort I don't
find your arms around me in loving embrace
I only feel the the love of Gods given grace...

I held on but you let me go
and when I fell to earth again
It was God who caught me and gave me a friend....

Dedicated to woman of courage and faith and great capacity
for love, a beautiful woman inside and out and I know she
will become more of who God designed her to be...I know she
will get through these trials and tribulations of heartache...

LOVE IN A BOX

Love comes but once a year
and all have gathered around the table
the halls were all decked
with all things green and holly

but now its over I fear
and all the gifts unwrapped from label
what remains is regret
and another year of folly

will you only see your family
when christmas comes again
will you only show joy
with red and green splendour

or will you change initially
and find the family taxing bane
??? work in progress still
