Your Sanctuary
I wrote this 18 years ago! (2005)
So dark, foreboding—unwelcome
Sad, loathsome—fearsome
I was afraid to leave home . . .
So afraid of what I would become.
Alone, I could not stand
But you lovingly took my hand
Then we got lost in our beautiful dreamland . .
Nevermore the unknown to understand.
From a nightmare I was awoken
where I was bruised and oh so broken
But your love made my eyes open
To words too heavenly to be spoken.
Of you I will never wary
Never will I be sorry
In you I find nothing ordinary . . .
Only love
in your sancuary.
The fear I once knew
took healed wings and flew . . .
Now, my love, I’ve nothing left to do
But owe it all to you.
