Clarity.

This weekend away from everything day-to-day
Has given me time to think 
                   and time to pray
Everything is so clear to me
I'm losing everything so dear to me

We promised and we hoped and we dreamed:
We would be together forever --it seemed
But after a few years something changed
Something we never worked out--
                     something we never faced

The pain I feel now I've felt before
I hoped and I dreamed I would not feel this way any more
Why?  why dear God is this happening again?
I'm losing my spouse my former best friend

We promised and we hoped and we dreamed:
We would be together forever --it seemed
But after a few years something changed
Something we never worked out--
                     something we never faced

       In the end when I think I can no longer cope
       I clearly see with clarity that in spite of all of this:
                                                        there's still hope.
