The Struggle



We struggle
every night
trying to find
the way to bring you
to me.

Families and friends
sometimes are the worst
but we hold of the miles
and the longing
with fingertips
on keys.

If this world
were built
on love alone
we would have thousands
lined up to lend us a hand.

But it seems
the world doesn't care
only we who love
can understand
how distance
and seperation
hurt as badly
as a beating.

We will endure
somehow
someway
God will make it so.

We will continue
the struggle
again tomorrow.

Each night we will win
until you are here with me.
