I remember your
beauty
and the way I felt when I walked with
you.
I was born to you. . .grew with you.
Then one
day left you.
I closed you in my heart and not
once thought of you.
There, you slept for years. .
.and I had forgotten you.
Until one morning I
awoke to your distance,
and somehow you knew.
You
stirred in my soul and reached for my heart
to call
me back. . .to call me home.
And I
remembered.
You were created for me;
Given to
me. . .and I always knew I belonged to you.
I
have traveled so far away, to be so alone;
Please
guide me back home to your waters, aqua-blue;
White
sands that I once knew.
And on that day when I
can see no more,
keep me forever near you, and
again. . . .
I will
remember.
