When Gold Is As Ashes

By Bob
December 8, 1998

When cornerstones crumble
When loyalties turn
When words lose their meaning
When promises burn
When truth turns to lies
When hope turns to rust
When gold is as ashes
When diamonds are as dust
Though the world may conspire to keep us apart
With a candle in the window
I will hold you in my heart
And wait for you at the gates of Heaven,
Mija.

 

Mija (pronounced Mee-ha) is a Hispanic term of endearment that means "my daughter."
