I wish I could write songs to move you

To sooth you

Rid your heart of all this pain

Make you see all the color in this world again

If only I could show you how much you mean

The ever lasting effect you have bestowed upon this dark place we live in

Your mark isn't unnoticed

Admired by many

Envied by more, stuck looking in from outside your presence

Words escape me to express how I feel

I know I am not alone in this ordeal

A crowd has gathered, before my entrance and still more staggering in after me

Seeking shelter under the wings of an angel

Barricaded in this place so comforting

Safety envelopes us, now knowing we will never be alone

You take the brunt of what a cold world throws at us

Keeping us warm, out hearts beating stronger

Unable to notice yours slowly fading

Our blessed joy enraged in us, strengthened by the smile you put forth

Deafening us to the silence held in your chest

Dear love, Fear not

We hear your absent cry

To be held and be saved, embraced in the same love you so freely give

Open your eyes now, and meet ours with your beautiful gaze

See the open arms waiting to embrace you and bring warmth back over you

For all the lost souls, seen and unseen, that you have saved

You're beautiful in so many ways

I wish I could make you see

I can only hope to bring a little light in, to brighten your darkest days

I love you
