Shadowlands Poem by Jeff Stoddart

Will you walk with me to the shadowlands, for I can't go on my own
We came this far together, now I'm frightened on my own
Just take my hand and guide me i'll put my trust in you
And if we walk together our love will see us through.
Yet if you fear the darkness and are not ready yet
Don't think you let me down at all, I won't have one regret
And when we reach the shadowlands I know i'll want to stay
Close beside you, hanging on for just another day
I know i'll fear the darkness but with you by my side
You'll give me courage to let go, and not to run and hide
So when I reach that unknown land, i'll turn and kiss your face
The time will come to take our leave with this a last embrace
I know that I am bound to you by years of love and care
And when I reach the shadowlands, I know i'll find you there.
