As I Walked the Wilderness of this World...

I shiver and shrink from the wint'ry winds,

Though the warmth of tears once carried great hope

Of grace to come without delay.

Yet the years spent pining for just one kiss

Have taken their toll; my soul's amiss.

I ache and fall into the fray...

"I am left to wander and roam."
