one day I hope to hold you
hard within my grasp
learning all the lessons
that come from my deep past
remembering that sometimes
the reason that we fail
is that we never stop to do
those things that make us hale
we forget that life is living
we forget to live our dreams
forget about the little things
that used to hold great meanings
we walk along another path
one that makes us frail
weak we seek another way
but always it will pale
relationships will suffer
as our passion tends to grow
in the wrong direction
but we never know
until that one day comes to us
the day we realize
that life is more than living
it's in days first sunrise
it's the magic of the moment
the song within the air
the freshness of a daydream
we find we can't compare
for life is in the beauty
of a sonnet
of a song
that carries us beyond our dreams
beyond the days so long
when the slightest touch caresses
when a word can move the sun
when three words can change the course of time
we get up and run
the marathon is over
the cards upon the floor
I finally take you in my arms
as we walk on out the door
