New Perspective

New Perspective

By Patrick Harnish

January 29, 2009

I close my eyes and smell the air

I find you here, there, and everywhere

New thoughts abound

My world now unwound

I have a new perspective to life

One with less grief and strife

I thank you everyday

For a new life and a new day

Hold my hand and stand by me

All the truths you helped me to see

It is an honor to know you

You helped me through

Took a moment to look and see

What has been hiding from me

I thank you everyday, in every way

For guiding me to a new way

Stay with me, I will lead the way

It’s ok to kneel and pray

I am here with you always

When the wind blows and sways

I have a new perspective to life

One with less grief and strife

I thank you everyday, in every way

For a new life and a new day

Hold me now forever more

My heart tore and ripped apart before

Healed anew and full of life

I am glad you’re in my life

Come close as we dance together

There is nothing we can’t weather

You mean so much to me

Rejuvenated and reconnected emotionally

Walk with me now from here to there

You have shown me your life and your care

I’ll light the way, the shadows withdrawn

Because today begins a new dawn

I have a new perspective to life

One with less grief and strife

I thank you everyday

For a new life and a new day

I will guide you in your dreams

Be not afraid ahead full steam

Take my hand let it come to be

I will be there with you and help you see

Danger lurks in the air, it haunts you dear

I am with you to push away the fear

Walking calmly by your side you feel

The warmth penetrates and heals

Hold me close and never let me fall

You stand so proud and tall

Looking in my eyes you smiled

I haven't felt this good since I was a child

Dance with me my prince of light

For I have won this battle and fight

I will show you the way ashore

To a new day and more
