I'm on the outside

Looking in

Friendly faces

Friendly grins

Where's the entrance?

How do I get in?

I smile back

My heart open for all to see

no pretention in me

Love shining in my eyes

arm's open wide

Won't you take the steps

to invite me in?

I'm at peace

rested

contented to hold you close

your gentle hands

upon my face

So tender, it brings tears

to these eyes

Never have I known

such a gentle soul

such a gentle touch

the worse part is knowing

I may never know it again

Open your arms my love

trust in what you see

trust in what we feel

open your arms and let me in

There is nothing

that together we can't overcome

Lost loves that hurt

pain given to us from our fellow man

You just have to believe

walk this way my love

I'll be there to meet you

always ready with a smile

always ready with loving arms

don't leave me outside looking in

Let our love

show you it can stand the test of time

Take my hand and we can stand

together

forever

Trust,  please take my hand!
