Out in the distance
you stand there all alone
You do not say a word to me
just stand there like a stone
The years are passing quickly
you have not long to stay
Why do you ponder
Why do you delay
In this path that has surrounded you
In hope and peace and love
You stand there like you're trapped
as innocent as a dove
Why do you not call out to me
Why not ask my help
I would not turn away from you
I would not turn you out
I wish only to encourage you
and help along the way
and grow to love you as my own
and have you come and stay
To value all you've hoped and known
and treasure it always
Until you turn to leave this world
and face thy endless days
