Of Three in One Day: To Gain, Renew, and Lose

1.
A wall of cold
Was I too bold
For you and rolled
The wrong way, but sudden you grin, not mad
At me, and use my name, I'm glad.

2.
I saw you out there, confused and hurt
We pulled you in and said it's okay to cry
You became one of us, heart and soul, eye to eye
Fun, Mother spunk, you could make a story fly
But then she died, cold and dry you became,
Distant you existed, I missed your eyes for their flame
For those seven other kids, mom and sister the same
But tonight you bounce in
And ask for a pen
We're getting you back for another round, 'nother try.

3.
Strange emotions tugged my heart
Those glorious moments in the dark
But scared of my wrong, I pulled back and wrote
To tell what I meant and to borrow your coat
We came back, it was good, were my fears just a fart?
But we're better off separate and not in the same boat
Tonight the last straw, I hear the last note.

All
What have I lost? What have I gained?
Communion anew, though some motion strained
I've learned and I've loved; stuck my hand in thin air
and saw what it means to just show that you care
I know I will fail and others will too
But nothing beats love; love tried and love true.

In the end, it was God; God is love, He has proved
Everything's changing, but it's me He has moved.
