The Beginning

Going to bed with my feet dirty again
I won't forget where I have gone.
A cocoon, my bed unfolds within
and protects me until dawn.

A dreamless boy, I"ll always keep
Locked behind the door,
And dream of him until I sleep
Dream forever more.

His brown eyes hold me dear
And his smile begins to fade.
His heart strings pull me near
Longing to be played.

You toss and turn alone
Tormented night by night.
The key I desire to own
That unlocks this awful fright.

Let me hide you in my arms
And guard you while your rest
Lull you to sleep with loving charms
In this sense, I know what's blessed.

I'll strum a hymn to soothe your soul
And sing a song to ease your mind.
Knowing that God is in control
A peaceful sleep you're soon to find.

Through troubles and afflictions
You have no choice but go.
Through courage and conviction
We'll reap all that we sew.

As the dream begins to dim
In shades of black and white and grey,
We must remember, look to Him,
We'll be assured of it one day.
