Most of my life I
have always been
On the outside just looking in
Seeing all the happy people
Wishing I was one of them.
But I was too
engrossed
In the pain that I felt
I could never find the door
Due to the hand I was dealt.
It was so very bad
to see
All the people that I wanted to be
Just looking through the window glass
On the outside, never to pass.
I thought it was just for a few
To be happy as they seem to
Little did I ever know
That the door was so very closed.
Then came
that glorious day
When you turned and walked my way
Handing me that special key
That would set me oh so free.
This key was your undying love
It was sent to me from heaven above
So that I could finally see
What inside was really meant to be.
It was your special love you gave
That helped me to be free
To see what it was really like
What inside looking out could be.
So thank you for
your trust
As your love was oh so much
Of letting me inside this door
Not outside looking in anymore.
