From the ashes of past lives,
through the swill of human cruelty,
we pull our tired, mangled souls in search,
the path riddled with lost loves and sad goodbye's,
with the bruises of times best forgotten,
looking for the one that will heal,
for the star within the years of darkness,

then there you are,
a smile to bright for shadowed eyes,
my heart swells with each new day,
with each sweet word,
with each loving caress, the healing begins,
your love brings new hope,
your eyes show the future lights,

the world continues,
others may fail, and hurt, and cry,
but we can grow, and heal, and laugh,
and i thank you, with all that i am,
for renewing me, for holding me,
for making me a woman, for being you, i love you.
