Circle Back

Wash the dishes, mop the floor
Clean the tower, smile bright!
And I miss you.
Don’t forget to shut the door,
Don’t forget to be a light!
But I miss you…

Catch their tears, ease their pain
Never let them see your own
But I miss you!
Always find joy – sing in the rain!
Give freely, your life is a loan
But I miss you

Forever and a hundred years more
God’s work I’ll be so glad to do
Though this life I’m living is never a chore
I still circle back to missing you

(And perhaps it
isn't such a bad thing...
Since it means
that I love you)

Some Words are Free



I just want to cook and clean for you
And be the one that gets to serve you
Because you’re worth serving, and I love you
Because you’re the one that I want to always love

And I’m pretty sure

That I’m the one that you want to protect
The one that you want to provide for and cherish

And the only thing that makes me sad now
Is the thought that these things could change



(But I don’t really think they will.)

My Direction



I’m so grateful that you’re someone who I can love without the fear
That you might not love me back.  The comfort in your returned affection
Is like knowing that the lost piece of your soul has finally drawn near
Thank you for being: the sun when I’m cold - and when I’m lost, my direction
