On My Own

I miss the days that might have been

The days of comfort, warmth, security

The Brady kids and Beaver too

Whose homes were what we wished ours could be.

Places where you were always loved

People around who would always care

Knowing that you would be heard

If thoughts and feeling were ever shared

But wishing doesn’t make it so

Hearts are broken, scarred or torn.

Burdens carried for a lifetime

Longing just to be reborn

Hope is carried in the heart

It hides itself so deeply there

And waits impatiently for the touch

Of one who heals all earthly cares

Our Savior, Master of Heaven and Earth

Knows what it means to be betrayed,

To stand alone,

To feel dismayed

But love of God and all mankind

Drove him to complete His task

He honored each and every one

By doing what the Father asked

Though bruised and broken I may feel

And though I had no Brady home

My Savior has stood by my side

And I am one of his very own.
