The One To Get Me Home
By Clyde E. Gumbs

 

I have moved along this endless path

For so many disappointing years

And along this long and winding road

I’ve shed so many bitter tears

 

Hoping someone would be there with me

To share the burden of the load

To take the daunting journey with me

On this never ending lonesome road

 

There were people here and there at times

Who I would find as I would roam

None of them could offer peace and joy

None of them could get me home

 

When hope had almost disappeared

In the grips of my despair

When it felt like I had given up

Only then you did appear

 

First noticing your radiant presence

Your smile enchanting on display

The boldness of your spirit

Offered for me to see that day

 

Your passion unmistakable

Impossible to be contained

It demands its full expression

You were not born to be restrained

 

The joy of life resides with you

Offered everywhere you go

As if life is an endless party

Celebrating all that we could know

 

A special sort of genius

Ingenuity and play

Creating that which is miraculous

When it seems to all there is no way

 

A servant of humanity

Generosity your currency

Healing all the wounded spirits

Compassion restoring dignity

 

Your loyalty unshakeable

A faithful partner born to be

Undaunted in the face of all

Devoted for eternity

 

You captured me under your spell

Captivating all there is of me

All of me belongs to you

All that which I was born to be

 

You inspire me to be myself

Your champion for eternity

I count on you to stand with me

No matter what shall come to be

 

You may not believe that you are perfect

But the perfect partner you shall be

Common values and desires

Common purpose, common destiny

 

You birthed me as a butterfly

There is no dark place left to roam

You light the path with sparkling presence

You are the one to get me home
