I cried because I'm old.
You said age is just a number.
I cried because I'm ugly,
Age has collapsed me, taken
from me the looks of
interest.
I cried because the end is near.
You have given me the looks
my soul seeks.
I cry now because you are
far away.
“You Raise Me Up” plays
on my heart.
There are tears of longing’s
frustration
now until you happily walk
off the plane
toward our life.
when we will sing
together happily
in
God's Grace.
