For Joshua
Everyday when I look in the mirror
I see a girl staring back at me.
But when I see myself through your eyes
I see the woman that I long to be.
I'm reaching out to you,
reaching out to me.
Saving me from drowning
in my own self misery.
Nothing can compare
to the strength that I find
When I'm holding you close
to this heart of mine.
And though I fight
each of the wonders and gifts that you share
More than words can ever express,
I do truly care.
I don't know if I can show
the depth of my gratitude
For your patience with my defenses
and my attitude.
My walls of protection come tearing down
to the safety and love you've built all around
I fight. I flee from the joy you give me.
I want it all, but my pride is my enemy.
I know you'll pull me up to dry ground
If I put down my fears and take the love that we've found
I see a girl staring back at me.
But when I see myself through your eyes
I see the woman that I long to be.
I'm reaching out to you,
reaching out to me.
Saving me from drowning
in my own self misery.
Nothing can compare
to the strength that I find
When I'm holding you close
to this heart of mine.
And though I fight
each of the wonders and gifts that you share
More than words can ever express,
I do truly care.
I don't know if I can show
the depth of my gratitude
For your patience with my defenses
and my attitude.
My walls of protection come tearing down
to the safety and love you've built all around
I fight. I flee from the joy you give me.
I want it all, but my pride is my enemy.
I know you'll pull me up to dry ground
If I put down my fears and take the love that we've found

Walking a dark Road
I walk along a darkened road
unsure of my destination.
I haven't seen a light or sign
but am guided by determination.
Where I've gone, and where I head
I hope for a brighter day,
when the things I've seen and the things I've done
will all be washed away.
