Let the River Run....

 

 .

 

                 For all the cold and hungry....
      Who feel no joy in their life
      For all the lost and lonely
      Who deal with daily strife
      
      For all the soldiers fighting
      Who believe in us so much
      For all the sick and dying
      Who need a human touch...

      For all the wandering souls
      That have lost Christmas in their heart
      For all the children now grown up
      Who feel so torn apart....
 
      Don't give up to the darkness.
      Don't be overtaken by the night.
      You are not alone....
      I see you dancing in the light.

If I said I heard your voice before you spoke...
If we shared a common thought....
a distant memory....
a shattered dream...
Would that make us kindred spirits?
Waiting
on the other side...
around the corner
beyond the door
at soul's edge
deja vu et tous?

I have no secret sins.
 No hidden truths...
 or unknown flaws...
You know them all.

There are no excuses.
No reasons for then...
Perhaps I followed my children
 instead of my heart.

Maybe I left the rodeo
 when my cowboy took a fall..
.You know for certain
 I’m not so noble after all.

But there is a Fair in Texas.
And you'll be there tonight.
My heart will follow you down the midway
in a desperate phoenix flight.

I am turning the corner into October.
The leaves will let go of the trees.
 A cool wind will stir....
 my restless soul to again.

You are  touching my life.
with gentle  hands.
And my heart is anchored in today.
I can wonder if it's too soon.
I can guess that it's too late.
It really doesn't matter much...
I think I’ll love you anyway
