A New Outlook On Life
I saw the beginning of the rain.
Rivulets of rain running down my window pane.
Nothing is worse than this pain in my heart.
Ever since we have been apart.
My precious love has gone from me.
Left me here in misery.
Guess I will close the door to my heart.
Keep it all inside me, in the dark.
I cannot be hurt like this again.
The suffering is too great to even begin.
All alone with no one to see
just how miserable can I be?
But wait, here’s a shoulder to lay my head.
Gently holding me as I lay here on the bed.
You have always been there through good and bad.
To give me hope when I am sad.
You never anger. You’re just supporting.
No matter who it is I’m courting.
Why? Why would you treat me this way?
Then it hit me. “You love me, “ was all I could say.
As I lay there and thought it through,
you are the only one for me too.
“I think I love you,” I said with affirmation.
His smile was my conformation.
From then on it was Jesus and I.
There may be others by and by.
But, always with Jesus in our mist.
There is no greater thing than this.
You and me and Jesus makes three.
Now that’s what I call a real family.
Why not come along for the ride.
Start walking with Jesus by your side.
With Jesus added to the equation,
your life is in for a new sensation.
On top of the world looking down on creation.
Just you, Jesus, and your friends and relations.
