Analysis of Destiny
Wish I had a special place
A place where I would be
Safe absolutely as safe As I could be
A place that's warm and comfortable
Embraced by strong loving arms
A place to laugh and cry in peace
A place without fear of harm
A place to build a legacy
A place without games or shame.
A place to let my guard down and rest
A place where love could grow
Be expressed and felt
A place where the world could
Know who I really am
A special place to share my life
My love with one loving man
A special place called home
The end of living alone This place really sounds good
If this place just existed
I would stop twisting Turning in bed at night
Rest my head on his chest
Hold him oh so tight
Never let these moments go Cherish each day more and
Trust and know that every time
He left, walked out the door My special place he'd miss And he'd return faithfully For my special kiss
