With Every Step

SHE TOOK A STEP THAT NIGHT
ONE TO NOT FORGET
EXPLAINED TO A STRANGER
HER FEARS AND REGRET

SHE CRIED MANY TEARS
WALKED ALONE IN THE PAST
UNLOVED WITH BITTER TORMENT
AND PAIN SO VAST

NEVER DID SHE IMAGINE
WHAT VERY THINGS LYED INSTORE
THE MOMENT GOD SENT THIS STRANGER
TO COME KNOCKING ON HER DOOR

THEY TALKED FOR HOURS
THROUGH THE DAY AND NIGHT
SHARED MANY SECRETS
THROUGH THIS GIFT OF LIGHT

THEY SHARED ENDLESS TEARS
TURNED TO ONE ANOTHER
HELPED AND CONFIDED
LEANED ON EACHOTHER

A STRANGER NO LONGER
BUT NOW A BELOVED FRIEND
THE NIGHT TWO HEARTS JOINED
THE NIGHT THEIR HEARTS DID MEND

THIS BELOVED FRIEND IS HER LIGHT
ONE THAT CARRIES HER THROUGH THE DAY
EVERY STEP SHE TAKES
NOW GUIDES HER ON THE WAY..........

DEDICATED TO A TRUE FRIEND WHO IS ALWAYS IN MY HEART--- PAT
