A tribute to my grandmother. RIP Lois Kirscht

My Light Within


Echoes, is all I hear
The fear of losing the sanity I have
Dispenses from me in tears
What is love, when I have no one who understands
What is faith, when I don't know where to turn?
There you are, silent in the dark
Just sitting, waiting to talk

You are there in body, but not soul
Can you hear me?
I know I want to talk, but can't explain the fear
Missing you greatly
Painful stabs of yearning to touch your hand once more
To say goodbye is forever
Not ready to shut that door
I've got to turn the page and close the door to the
Darkness in my soul

Where will you be when I need you?
Will you be standing beside me as you used to?
Will you be watching from a distance?
I wish I could turn a light on and shut the darkness from my soul
Tears immensely once more
Now I understand why you are no more
I loved you and you left me
So now I say goodbye, but one day
I will reunite with thee

Don't you worry, I can see, that the solution
I need is deep within me
That the light I needed in my soul
was to know that I need not cry
for thee any more

You will be with me and as my flame
Will walk within me along the way
I know you are the one I see
Because I have your values deep within me
