The long outstretched roads of lonliness (12/13/86)

The long
outstretched roads
of lonliness
have been spoken
by so many;
Whom of those thought
walked
God
had carried.
And yes
the heart
which felt
the pain
was bound with love;
Crying softly
for you.
Years were taken
and replaced;
For time was never concealed;
Promising one lifetime
to leave
this love;
And as I see
the tenderness
of even one tear
one smile;
A beginning has begun again.
Wishing to be
one sanction
of love
this life has gifted;
He had graced my fear
with the atonement
of knowing
my love
belongs to someone else;
Mine
only to feel.
