ONE

As through this life I wander
Often I sit and ponder,
If there will ever be
One to journey beside me.

One who will share the open road
One who’ll let me help carry the load,
One to help and ease my mind
One to share God’s gifts we find.

Will I know her when I look in her eyes
Will we share many glorious sunset skies?
Will she understand the words I write
Or know the ghosts that haunt my night?

So through this life I still wander
And so often I still sit and ponder,
As I journey lonely and free
Perhaps this is how God intends it to be.
