Words can cross an ocean.
Through storm and rain.
Through pain and loss.
Through days and nights.
Without giving up.

Like a sailor, who's willing to reach his home.

she sends to me love letters
ones that i never receive
lost in the post when they're needed the most
for proof she has always loved me

she sprinkles the pages with perfume
her scent to make sense of it all
love letters sent to me that I never receive
that have over the years been lost

You heard me,
when I whispered softly;
You held me,
as I wept loudly;
You love me,
despite me,
despite me.

I know not nor claim
In this lifes living game
To have all the answers
As to the whys of now or after

Faith is all I posses
Just to live and do my best
Having hope in my heart for tomorrow
For joy to **** lifes sorrow

Life is a street one way
That directs me to a waiting grave
That becomes an opening door
Leading me to forevermore

Laugh and love and learn
Seek and look and yearn
For what tomorrow brings
With its dreams and hopes and stings

Then when life has ended
Know yours was real and not pretended
Live and breathe and dance
Life is lifes only chance
