Grant me kindness
not success:
in this alone
I'll be fully blessed
Love reflected in hearts
Are beautiful mirrors to the soul
My Creator is mine and I am His.
I am from Him and myself alone.
All the days of my life,
till dawn meets dawn.
I’m nesting in His love and do not need more.
Till time doesn’t exist anymore.

Only through faith we can live and love and be at peace..
I cannot let people in
I cannot let you get through
I cannot take down these walls
I do not know what to do

I built these walls for a reason
Looking back it all makes sense
I learned not to share myself
Naive misguided self defense

Now I have outgrown this prison
I don't want to be alone
How can I convince myself
That I am worthy to be known?

This is an act of defiance
Walls can't stop me when I write
No doors here
But words are windows
Screaming out into the night
Hear the dripping branches sing
when the icy breath of winter
melts to kiss the waiting lips of spring
I’ll be there when you call
I’ll be there if you fall
In you I’ve found my future
I’ll be there
I’ll be there

I will watch while you sleep
I will hold you when you weep
My eternal love won't fail you
I'll be there
I'll be there

A while back I put up the first verse and asked for help with a second.  I got a lot of suggestions but could't make them work.  After some time a comment by a fellow poet gave me the inspiration for a second verse, which is above. I thanked her and then promptly lost her name in  my damaged brain. Now all I need is a bridge.
