Where We Once Perched

By: Keith Overstreet

The storms came through, the rain, oh so cold.
A chill fills my bones.
My strength is gone,
I can't hold on.

After you flew away I waited for you- so long.
The years passed but you never came.
Without you the sorrow is so hard to bear.
We were like doves, mates for life- weren't we?

The ants are coming, I can hear their march.
I don't have much time
I'll be gone with the setting sun
should you see it set, I'll wave good-bye.

The angels are here
they are more beautiful than ever told or pictures seen.
they said they have come to take me home
so I must go.

'for better, for worse...' we once said,
forgive me the worse.

I loved you so
good-bye
my dove.
