WHERE LOVE HAS BEEN

HAVE YOU SEEN A DRY CREEK BED

WHERE WATER ONCE BUBBLED AND RAN

OVER THE BOULDERS AND INTO THE EDDIES,

AND OVER AND UNDER THE DAMS?

THINK OF THIS DRY CREEK BED

AS A HEART WHERE ONCE LOVE FLOWED,

WHERE HAPPINESS WAS ALWAYS SHED

BY THE LOVE THAT HAD GROWN AND GROWN.

ONE DAY THE LOVE SEEMED TO DIE,

OR AT LEAST, IT DID DISAPPEAR.

IT LEFT FOR ANOTHER HEART, NOT MINE.

AND MY HEART WAS FILLED WITH FEAR.

THIS DRY CREEK BED, CALLED MY HEART,

MUST ONE DAY FLOW FREELY AGAIN

WITH THE WATER OF TRUE LOVE THIS TIME,

NOT FROM SOMEONE WHO LEFT ME HALF DEAD.

OH, LOOK, FRIEND, WHAT NOW DO I SEE?

A TRICKLE OF LOVE FLOWING DOWN

FROM A GENTLE AND BEAUTIFUL HEART

MAKING ME A SO HAPPY ALL AROUND.

THE CREEK IS NOT DRY ANY MORE,

IT IS FILLED WITH LOVE FLOWING AND TRUE,

HE SHALL HAVE MY HEART EVER-MORE,

FILLED WITH WONDROUS LOVE SO NEW.

THE CREEK IS BUBBLING AND WENDING

ITS WAY INTO ETERNITY.

THIS LOVE IS FLOWING AND GOING,

MY LOVE FOR HIM, HIS FOR ME.
