LET ME

 

Let me love

And if in loving I should lose myself

If in return no love should come

Then let me be thankful for the feeling

And let me try again

 

Let me give

And if in giving I should not receive

Let me be satisfied with just giving

But if in crying I should find myself again

Then let me rejoice in my tears

 

Let me smile

Let me laugh with you

And if ths laughter brings you joy

Warms your heart inside

Then let me smile

YOU GAVE ME THAT

 

You gave me what I was missing

A taste of adventure

A chance worth taking

And moments that add meaning to the life I was living

You showered me with affection

Each gentle touch

Each unspoken word

Each sweet, little thought has meant so much

The endless attention

The imaginary flowers

The song that warmed my heart

You gave me that

 

You brought me laughter

You coloured my smile

And though it took me time to give my heart

You remained patient and satisfied

Kept me close, held me gentle but tight

You never gave up ….. ….

 

I brought you laughter

I discovered your smile

I made you happy just being at your side

But you, you gave me love

Right from the start~

You gave me that

RIVER OF JOY

 

I go down to the waters’ edge

In the still of the night

I hope to find myself

But it’s only an empty river I find

Amidst the shadows in the darkness

I hide myself

And beauty in all its splendour and completeness~

Only half shared

I cry me a river

A river of  joy
