Mi Morenita

Mi Morenita 

Everywhere I looked, clouds were dark and gray 

A misery has caught me in a cage 

And every day became a mental fray. 

Yet youthful years were plagued with olden age 

My life seemed faded, withering til death. 

But she came and pulled me back together 

In need of someone to give life new breath 

She lifted darkness as it were a feather 

Never allow happiness, for it lies 

She gave me light when I was consumed 

Offered hope as she healed what was inside 

Yet I was stricken with eternal wounds 

I think of our love every single day 

This gift is one I can never repay
