The Valleys

Through the valleys of darkness and fear

When the light of love was so unclear

I used to stop and stare at my reflection in the cloudy stream

Of your beautiful face I would dream

Although not a religious man I would pray

That we would be together one sweet day

But my hope and faith in love was done

My heart went down and set like the hopeless winter sun

Little did I know that like the summer

sun my heart would rise

When I sat and stared deep into your insatiable eyes

And I would finally find someone I could trust

And my insecurities would blow away in yesterdays dust

Where the Forrest once had died and the grass was far from green

Life became better and more colourful than I’d ever seen

As you stood holding my hand under the waterfall

It occurred to me in epiphany that I finally had it all

For my soul had been waiting for you for this life to begin

You are the welcome truth to my heart that has only ever known sin

The valleys of darkness and fear now diminish and disappear

And every night I feel the answer inside of my tears

You create so much emotion inside of me

That the love I have for you even a blind man could see

And now we walk through the valleys together forever we will be

Two kindred spirits in love for eternity
