I Know That I Can Shine For You - poem (2009)

I Know That I Can Shine For You

I walked alone, always hiding from your light
I was too ashamed to show you who I've been
There were too many times when I took to flight
I couldn't see you had come and washed away my sin

And I know that I can shine for you
Although I might be full of dust
This heart can learn to live its prayer
I feel this time I know what to do
As I clean off all of the rust
I can show you that I still can care

Played the music slow so I could hear your key
And waited for me, till I learned all the steps
Opened up these sightless eyes to harmony
I felt so much joy inside that I nearly wept

And I know that I can shine for you
Although I might be full of dust
This heart can learn to live its prayer
I feel this time I know what to do
As I clean off all of the rust
I can show you that I still can care

One day when someone's footsteps fell behind me
I knew they were the ones I'd waited for
A promise filled my mouth that then would bind me
I never truly learned that love was so much more

******* I wrote this for someone very very special to me, the man I love. ************************
