If it's the only thing I do
I'll keep alive my faith in you
I gave a lot away
But one thing I've never done
Is given up hope
By taking my eyes off the horizon
I know they say no one can keep love from fading
It's not unlike watching a ship sail out to sea
Each day there's no return, you weaken from waiting
Until all love is gone, but they'll never prove that by me.
(That's the song I listened to over and over while
drawing his portrait.)
Laura J. Smith
