Giving All
I would give it all away
the collector's display of valuables untouched
if only you would stay.
The shadows take hold
and as your eyes close
I know you have to go.
If I prayed and pleaded
would God change his mind
leaving you just as I want and needed.
Life is such an unknown struggle
where we tread in wonder and caution
to let love come and go untroubled.
I would give it all away
don't say goodbye,
just one more day, stay.
