Lake of Sorrow

In the dark there is a peaceful silence
where quiet tears caress my soul.

Each tear holds a memory

Each tear a moment that won't be shared

I see what others cannot

For you are in my dreams.

It's there I hear you call my name,

And once again feel the gentleness of your touch.

As morning breaks you are beyond my grasp.

But your sweet love lingers with me

throughout the day.

In my sorrow I call out to God.

He weeps with me.

He shrouds me in his love.

He comforts me.

He whispers you have a life to live

and beauty yet to be seen.

There are dreams yet to be fulfilled

and memories to be made

In the dark there is a peaceful silence

where quiet tears caress my soul.
