LYRIC FOR SALE

By Anne Elder

Too much time spent searching,
always hunting high and low,
looking for the burning beacon
that shows the way to go.
It didn't take a lifetime,
but it feels like that inside,
far too much time spent floundering,
without you by my side.

I wasn't really looking
when that bright light caught my eye.
I wandered off the beaten track,
not really knowing why.
And there I saw you standing,
like an angel in the snow;
suddenly it was clear that I
had nowhere else to go.

The picture fills my memory
and I'm wanting you to know
that's the moment I realised there
was nowhere else to go.

You stretched your hand towards me
and you took me to the light.
The brightness of your selfless soul
lit up the darkest night.
My home is in your presence
and my heart has found its key.
You walk the paths around it and
they all come back to me.

I thank you for your caring,
for the kindness of your heart.
I thank you that you cherish me,
not changing any part.
I thank you that you showed me
that my wanderings could end.
I've reached my destination as
fate always did intend.

These feelings flood my being
and I'm wanting you to know,
that for some time I've realised I
want nowhere else to go.
