The strength I need
Is so oft difficult to find
When my eyes fill up with unshed tears
I long to be gathered in your arms
And hide my face.......
Weakness has overtaken my bones
My heart a quiver takes
Till I close my eyes and see you
As courage personified!
New energy fills my being......
Your calm smile....
Your long fingers
As you caress my cheeks
Clean wiping my every tear.......
Your eyes are full of love
Your arms around me strong.......
Will you my lord
Bent to kiss my forehead?
Just bend a little....... just for me?
Add some oil to keep my lamp burning...
Burning through the night?
Till I find the voice to speak?
Add a reverent prayer to every star
That flickers in the sky?
To let you remain for ever with me.........
Till death does part
and beyond?
For seven lives
Together;
Safe in your arms
