welcomed stranger

Stumbling around in the darkness i've made,
A man appears and walks my way,
I'm Joe he speaks his name,
I'm here to erase all of your pain,
A rush of emotions i don't understand,
With my heart pounding i take his hand,
He leads me down a path unknown,
He pulls me close and whispers your not alone,
With darkness all around me,
He tells me be not afraid,
I'm here to show you the way,
His love so pure and strong,
To turn back now would be wrong,
The more we walk the darkness starts to fade,
All of the tears all of the pain,
Slowly melts away,
The feeling of love takes its place,
And a smile spreads across my face,
He shows me how to love how to change,
A life thats not all pain,
Who knew the compassion of one man,
Could make someone like me understand.

(this is for the love of my life joseph. i would not be where i am if not for you.)
