Commitment
These are my letters to you O Beloved
how else can I make you see
these are all I have to send you
when you aren't here with me
I want to wrap my arms around you
lay your head unto my breast
capture all your falling tears
and in my heart to take your rest
Want to share all my emotions
right down to the smallest thought
retire with you when there is night
daily rise with the sun our lot
All the things I want to tell you
if I could these words make speech
but if you can't understand me
they'll not your heart to able reach
I want to hear your voice again
for it is pleasant to my ears
within its sound is music
always soothing to all my fears
I think this is the kind of life
what we call God would want for you
but nothing like this can reach your heart
unless you also want it too
You can close your heart and walk away
but I hope you'll see and not forget
that to share your life in every way
a devotion you could not regret
