The Puzzle

I found you there
In silence read
As time stood still
Twenty five years have passed
In patterned lace
You lie before me like life itself
A promise echoed by the tear that stays
Fast forever to my heart
The puzzle is complete today
She cast her book of dreams away
An angel flies, all is clear to her now
Though dark to my eyes
I trade forgiveness for the promise kept
Hello forever in her arms
Every step I take
Every sound I hear
Each day I wake
My world is ours
I feel your touch
Your world is mine
The puzzle is complete today
You’ve cast your book of dreams away
I fought until the chains that bound you
They broke my will
I will swim to you
Far across a river of tears
