All That Remains
Beyond all the hard times before
Eternal and pure at the core
Beyond all the guilt and the pains
I love you is all that remains
In spite of the worry and strife
I'm honored you entered my life
In spite of the losses and gains
I love you is all that remains
There are no more debts to forgive
Nor any regrets to relive
There are no more smudges or stains
I love you is all that remains
Let richer men offer up pearls
A poor man gives this my dear girls
Just a verse that proudly exclaims
I love you is all that remains
*Written several years ago for Christmas to my three daughters who often asked, "How did you ever put up with us?"
