Patience (Love Will Find You Again)

It’s always been special loving you and now more so, since you passed

Though the time we shared was not enough, for me, our love will last

and so hush my special love; I need you to listen to my heart

remember, with your head upon my chest, as you always lay

It’s been so very long, without the warmth of you here, it says

yet you still talk to me in my solitude, usually when quiet nights fall

and each day, it seems I expect you to arrive back, or just to call

telling me you’ll be home soon and not to worry my heart at all

but on so many days since, it’s snowed, yet no tracks can I find

It’s then I’ve tried to scream out loud, but your smile comes to mind

and so, I feel the beat of patience, slowing down the anguished heart

and the afterglow of your energy grows; I’ve always loved that part

it’s there that I look for you, among lost snowflakes, as they seek a place to rest

You see how subtly you made me smile again and now, I feel blessed

I know how much you’ve loved me and taught me to be strong

I never believed that you could, but you just knew, all the lyrics to my songs

and I missed the real time that we shared, though I know that life, is now gone

So hush my love, be silent snowflake, come now, rest upon my heart

you taught me to believe, to be proud; to always be true

you gave me the patience to survive; even though I never knew

When you were called, your angels never kept us far apart

you just kept right on walking through and talking to my heart

I’ve known you’ve been there to make sure, that I would be okay

and we both now that I truly needed that, just to find my way

all this time though, I still seek your warmth on winter days

Friends tell me it’s now time for me, to learn to live and play

for the future, to let you go and so to move on without you

pretty much the same way, you’ve always told me I should do

Patience, thank you for understanding all my lonely, simple needs

it was patience that helped me understand, each time this heart would bleed

So hush now my love, for when I leave, you will be patient too

then in time, then in the future, our love will be renewed

and with patience, you can rest in peace and know it’s true

that the love you gave and always showed me

will my love, come back to you

sometime within, your patience…
