ALL I WANT IS YOU Life has taken me down roads I never should have traveled and mistakes I've made along the way are there to see. I used to think that love was something to hold on to forever but the love I found turned out to be a bitter memory. I gave up on trying to find that special one to fill my life, it seemed easier to just live for the present, not the future. I wandered aimlessly through years of my own selfish will. Taking, never giving love, I had no time at all to nurture. Olden days and the golden ways of living a kind of lie, knowing that I needed to find a someone for my life. It wasn't an easy time, I had some hard thinking to do, maybe I will let go of the past and the self-inflicted strife. It took a lot of crying over milk I had spilled along the way. If this sounds like a confession, you might just be right. I had hit rock bottom on the pathway to some happiness, then one day I woke up, I had made it through the night. Now all I want is you, for you have come when needed most. You took my hand and understood the meaning of my dreams. I begged for forgiveness , and Lord, you were quick to forgive, I stepped into the light and life is better, no more schemes. It's amazing what faith and prayer can do for a sinner such as I. The days are full of wonder and the skies are always blue. I will walk hand in hand with the someone I've searched for and Jesus, now I know that all I ever needed - was you. Praise God for lifting me up, seeing me, loving me anyway!. Countrymom 2/8/2010 |
