Though the world may temporally take me away,
my heart is always here to stay.
In my wanderings I have found many deceiving desires,
yet you give me rest when I tire.
And as I gaze at the glittering of man made things,
I realize it's only my greed that gleams.
For here with you is where I belong,
and those other things will soon be gone.
Though you tell me fire burns,
I still touch it.
Though you warn me the bridge is out,
I still walk it.
Though you give me all I need,
I still want more.
Though your love is unequaled,
I still seek elsewhere.
Yet here in the quietness of my heart,
these things slowly fade away.
And as I reach out to the light,
it is you who will always stay.
Be always safe,
Karen
