The Reflection of Shadows: When You Search For Me

The Reflection of Shadows

A collection of moments

This is a song I wrote (I call these my "Written to a Tune" poems), which I would sing for you, but because that would cause me to die of incredible embarrassment you'll have to live with the beautiful, music-less lyrics.

When You Search For Me

I love the way you smile even when you’re scared,

I love your heartaches because you care,

I hate the moments you crumble and break

But your love and compassion can’t be taken away.

I made you perfect all the way through,

I made you special, there’s no one like you,

I gave you life and I gave you choice - 

Sometimes disaster helps you find your voice.

When you search for me,

When you look to me,

Some answers you seek

Aren’t the answers you need,

Your strength is determined

 You’ll find your way through

When you search for me,

I will find you.

I love the way you think life is too hard,

And I love the way you need to take charge,

I love your passion, your desire and drive

Because you know the value of love in this life.

When you search for me,

When you search for me,

Close your eyes,

I am here, I am what you need.

When you search for me,

When you look to me,

Those are the moments

I know you believe.

I love the way you never give up,

When push comes to shove you give all that you’ve got.

I love your secrets, your wishes, and dreams

And the way that you search for the meaning of things.

When you’re feeling weak,

When you search for me,

When your questions need answers

That won’t let you sleep,

When there’s more to the task

Than what’s given at hand,

You believe in me

And I’ll show you the plan.

When you search for me,

When you search for me,

In your moments of frailty

I see you believe.

When you search for me,

When you look to me,

Close your eyes, I am here

I am what you need.

I am here by your side

And you'll find your way through,

When you search for me
I will find you.
