I have no strength to serve the guilty with their sentence <CENTER>I stood under my own timid heart trying to find the pieces of a peace I couldn't hold in any memories <CENTER>It's like a desert in this soul, no rain for a thousand days <CENTER>Seeing but never knowing the chapter of love, Corithians 13 <CENTER>Fate was written in the very few clouds I no longer believed in <CENTER>Tomorrow was always today with a new name I could have lived had my inspiration not been trapped beneath the rubble of my fallen shelter <CENTER>My only star had burned out long ago <CENTER>I was on the outside looking in at a world that seemed so sure <CENTER>The sun was relentless, leaving no secret of mine hidden <CENTER>As the witch of time took her pleasure in teasing me <CENTER>I waited <CENTER>On a late October day a voice spoke to my core <CENTER>I gave into this hypnosis with nothing left to lose <CENTER>A blue-eyed hero came to me <CENTER>Suddently I forgot pain and all its wicked games <CENTER>As he wrapped me in his strength <CENTER>Rain fell upon my dead soul The rain he sent <CENTER>He is my beautiful October Rescue <CENTER>Suddenly I'm inside that world <CENTER>Because of him I can feel <CENTER>Just as he promised to me that Sunday everning with simple words, his heart attached <CENTER>Together we are one soul in two bodies <CENTER>A revival in my spirit <CENTER>I'll always stand by my love, <CENTER>My October Rescue. </CENTER> <CENTER> </fontsize="3"></CENTER></I><CENTER> <B><font size="2"> -Amber Miller (C)2003</B></font size="2"></CENTER><BR><BR><HR> </FONT
