There’s a storm cloud which hangs over me
It takes away my warmth and causes apathy
The silver lining, I cannot see.
It grew in darkness so gradually, when it started I cannot say
Took away my strength and agility more and more each day
The silver lining, I cannot see.
Like a thief in plain sight, both brash and bold
Facial expressions it’s taken, leaving distant and cold
The silver lining, I cannot see.
Slowly through time my gait and balance have been taken
When not in use my limbs will almost always be shaking
The silver lining, I cannot see.
It’s hard to speak, but will continue to try no matter the cost
For my handwriting you see, the cause has been lost
The silver lining, I cannot see.
The storms’ rain has fallen long and cold
And over me, an umbrella you did hold
The silver lining, I did not see
You shared your warmth and sympathy
You were my rock, my stability
The silver lining, I did not see.
Things that were taken, you helped me replace
The warmth and smile you returned to my face
The silver lining, I did not see.
By my side you’ve stood and calmed my shaking hand
My support you’ve been, when I fall in your arms I land
The silver lining, I did not see.
Silver is precious and bright, yet is still cold
The lining I see is filled with the warmth of gold
The silver lining, I did not see.
The gold lining I see is thee.
