"Letting Go"
Through this time
I have loved
never lied
there were
only these few times
that I cried
This moment
adds to that number
our selfish plans
gone asunder
my head open to God's will
and still I wonder
how will this end?
I place all my trust in Him
to take care of me in this time
but don't forsake me my friend
We have talked
I understand
we both need to walk
and take His hand
to realize our purpose
and serve God's plan
that is why
Out of love for you
I am letting go
This is the hardest thing,but
I am letting go
My heart aches
I am letting go
tears fall from my eyes
I am letting go
If in God's will
together we will return
but always a love for you
in my heart will burn
This pain so strong
only you and God know
I love you and yet
I am letting go
I lay silently in my bed
thousands of thoughts
battle in my head
I ask for forgiveness
and bless still
the one who has let me go
I wish not to awake
for the reality is too horrible
for my heart to face
still I open my eyes
and welcome the sun
We can pray all day
and into the night
and still not serve God's will
for we cannot be
just hearers of the Word
we should be the Doers as well
In this relationship
I had always known
I would lose you to the One
I feared that day
and hoped it never to come
well it has arrived
I am forced to face my fear
losing the person I love the most
yet willingly letting him return
to the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
I go my path and take the Lord's hand
He comforts me
helps me understand
that by giving up everything for Him
He knows I am ready
to serve His plan
I take my steps
steady on towards His light
then I turn and look behind
I smile and say
"Even if we remain just friends
I will always have a love for you
until the end."
