The Thoughts of Cory LaViska

Here you stand in front of me
A dream that has come true

The spirit of a long lost hope
That finally faded through

No random path of evil
Nor temptation block the way

My voice is free from shouting
All the fear has gone away

My memories of tears and pain
Have vanished out of sight

While increments of happiness
Appear throughout the light

You gave me the direction
That I never had back then

Every step I take from now
Will bring me forward again

For all these beneficial things
I hope you can construe

Gratefulness in the form of love
My solemn gift to you

For showing me in black and white
What I could never see

The love that I was looking for
Was right in front of me
