I believed in you.
I thought you were my friend.
We laughed, cried and ate together.
I was sure that on you I could depend.
I loved you.
For you I’d do anything, gladly giving up my life –
Climb every mountain, cross every valley.
We made a great team: I was glad to be your wife.
We dreamed dreams and painted pictures,
Even building castles in the sky.
Together we would conquer the world –
Together we’d get our share of a piece of the pie.
But…all of that is gone now.
Like a vapor of smoke it’s vanished away!
Like the morning dew in the early dawn,
Like the very first snowflakes on a cold winter’s day.
Broken promises & shattered dreams;
Words and actions all full of deceit.
Drugs and booze destroyed the home we had built.
Life seemed harder; I was totally beat.
Out of despair, hope came alive!
With faith in Christ, I would continue to strive.
In the midst of the turmoil, tranquility arrived –
I accepted the unchangeable; I knew I would survive.
Having learned patience, my strength has been renewed.
Mounting up as an eagle, I’m beginning to soar!
Facing each challenge with a new-found courage
I have the propensity (and with an intensity) to live life like
never before!
With a new lease on life and a new determination
I can weather the storms for I’ve learned self-preservation.
With God as my guide and my kids as my inspiration
I’ve the strength to be me without reservation.
