One cold winter day

One day you looked at me
You asked how I could love thee
You wanted to know how I could believe in dreams

I began to tell you the story of my life
I talk about my happiness and about my strife
Each story becoming more precise

You look at me fighting back each tear
You ask how do I not live a life full of fear

I tell you that amongst the pain
My life is better lived without strain
And that each difficult situation let to the strength I continue to gain

You want to know how I always pushed through
When it seemed there was nothing left that I could do

So I began to tell you
With God by my side I always found a way through
Even if at times I had to lose

You get up and thank me
You say I have changed how see
That I made you believe in a simple dream

I feel myself start to cry as I watch you walk away
I have never felt that way
I will never forget that cold winter day
