I Would

I would give up my life for you in an instant,
Love, making neither choice, not thought nor contemption needed.
I would cast out my soul,
to see you breathe another day.

I would travel to the ends of the earth,
to see you smile once more.
I would take on the pains of the world,
just to ease your aches.

I would live one thousand lives,
to let you live one happy one.
I would choke the life from my own heart,
just to hear yours beat once more.

I would give up everything,
for your happiness to grow.
My love knows no limits,
nothing to great a cost.



R.I.P Mommy Jo
