AN UNCERTAIN LAKE

AN UNCERTAIN LAKE.

Standing on the shore

Of an uncertain lake

Wondering what to do

Which steps to take.

The wind ruffles the water

Just like life ruffles me.

A journey ahead 

The path I can’t see.

Listening to the lapping water

Hearing the birds shrill call

Hold me very close 

Please don’t let me fall.

Let me hear the wind blow

And feel it on my face

Let me always remember

How special was this place.

Let me walk by the edge 

And smell the sweet air

Let me for just a moment

Forget all my care.

Kiss me in the daylight

For all the world to see

Let them know how special

You have become to me.

Hold me in the moonlight

Gather stars for me

Wrap your arms around me

A shelter always be.

Stand with me on the shore

Of an uncertain lake

Show me that all will be well

As together the steps we take.
