There Are Days

 by Otterlady (02/13/2000)

 

 

There are days when I wonder if it's all worth it

The pain, the sadness

When the darkness swirls around my feet

When it's all more than this heart can take

 

There are days when I can't go another step

Too tired, too worn

When I want to walk away, turn my back

Disappear

 

There are days when I want to lie down and cry

To weep, to mourn

When the only solution is to give up

To leave and never return

 

There are days when it's all too much

Just too much

When I can't see tomorrow, beyond the now

When the sun disappears and there are no stars

 

But then

You are there, my yesterday, my tomorrow, my today

To banish the shadows, to hold me tight

To capture the stars and hold them in your hand

 

To give me back my strength to carry on

To see beyond the pain and the sorrow

To make me see the hope, the glory

In a simple a thing as a day

In the rhythm of your heart

 

There are days when I know I would lay down and die

To give up

If you weren't there to stand beside me and love me

In spite of me

 

There are days I thank God that he saw fit to give me you

Blessed me with you

Those are the days I will go forward because of you

And those days are forever as long as I have you
