“OUT OF THE SHADOWS”

BEHIND THE CURTAINS YOU ALWAYS STOOD,

ALWAYS KNEW THAT YOU WERE LURKING IN THE WOODS,

SHADOWS OF A STRANGER WALKING THROUGH MY NEIGHBORHOOD,

THE ASSASSINATION OF MY PHYSICAL BEING AND CHARACTER – ALL THINGS I HAVE WITHSTOOD,

WARM SUNNY DAYS ALWAYS FEEL SO GOOD,

BUT WHEN THE WEATHER TURNS AND IT RAINS AND IT SNOWS THINGS DON’T REMAIN AS THEY SHOULD,

ON SNOWY DAYS I GAVE YOU MY BEST  HAT, GLOVES, FLEECE CLOTHING, AND COAT WITH THE HOOD, 

I BARED ALL OF THE ELEMENTS ALONE NOT ONCE DID I COMPLAIN FOR NOW IT IS CLEAR AND UNDERSTOOD,

THE REASONING FOR IT ALL IS FOR THE GREATER GOOD,

OPTIMISM ON MY PART FOR I WAS RAISED TO KNOW THAT THERE IS ALWAYS BETTER WHEN YOU DO GOOD, 

I ALWAYS KNOW THAT I GAVE MORE THAN I HAD AND ALWAYS DID ALL THAT I COULD,

I EVEN TOOK THE BLAME WHEN COMMUNICATION WASN’T CLEAR AND SOMEHOW THINGS WERE MISUNDERSTOOD,

GIVEN FROM MY HEART ALL THE LOVE I HAVE AND TO A FAULT AT TIMES GIVING MORE THAN I SHOULD,

MEANWHILE ALL THE HURT INSIDE, TEARS I’VE CRIED – YET A SMILE THROUGH IT ALL I DID AND SOMEHOW I COULD, 

OUT OF THE SHADOWS NOW I SEE YOUR FRAME, I KNOW YOUR NAME, OVER ME YOU LOOKED, 

JUDGEMENT CAME, YOU SAID MY NAME, ANOTHER CHAPTER IN MY LIFE HAS ENDED, BUT IT IS NOT THE ENDING TO MY LIFE STORY BOOK.
