Beautiful Place
Beautiful Place
There's still a little sand inside of my shoes
I leave it there to keep me close to you
There's a whole other world inside me now
this beautiful place
no more emptiness it can claim
I move on...but I never forget your picture frame
there's no separation
we're one and the same
I don't have to be afraid
I don't always have to be strong
even though you are gone
I still can feel your shoulder is ever so near
I turn to it ever so often to cry on....
I can imagine heaven
and how proud you must be now
I wish I had told you this back then
I thought I had time
well there's no use in swimming in regrets
I'll leave them behind
because I don't need regret
I know how you really felt
I no longer beat up on myself
I take comfort in the answers you left
and I am in such a beautiful place now......
so I give a kiss
instead of a unwanted finger
I release all the love you wrapped me in
because I think the world needs it more
I share kindness even if I never get it back
I feel your presence
and I know there is no reason to stop
thank you for guiding me down the right path
the beautiful place in my dreams
is no longer just a escape
I made it my reality
it all started with my mind set
how I viewed the grass, each single blade
I see the growth I made
the pride I carry because it's your blood
running in my veins
standing tall....despite rainfall
sculpting my warped clay
into such a beautiful place.....
