So weird how everything can be perfect one day,
and then be gone to never be the same.
Or how what you thought was dead was still alive
just needed to dig deeper inside.
Life is an illusion full of lessons to learn
if you don’t look closely things you miss for sure.
Details always slipping through the cracks
it’s hard not to be wrong, and keep your life in tack.
I try to learn a detail from each mistake
hoping one day to get everything right and in place.
I vow if a path fails me more than once
I’ll find another even if it takes months.
Maybe I was already on the right path and went a stray
I missed something along the way.
Through everything there’s only been one person who has always wanted me
when we were gone he hunted me.
Never to abandon me for another
through sickness and health still lovers.
A lot of hard times for which he had hurt me, but stayed
my eyes however had wondered in dismay.
Now our lives fixed like a patch quilt
one block at a time sewed in which we were built.
As the pieces slowly mend in there place
smiles grow bigger upon everyone’s face.
What I’ve got could be another’s treasure,
and I’m learning life doesn’t have a lot of pleasures.
So love what you’ve got and except it
embrace it deeply in your soul where it fits.
For one day that piece maybe gone,
and you’ll yearn for it through every dawn.
You’ll realize what you wanted was here all along
you just needed to look past the heartaches to hear the song.
