In London Town Pt Four

Seraphine, thy heart is good For I have loved thee as I should And should I choose to love thee more I could not know or think what for For truly I have loved thee best And fought to save thy tender rest My tiny angel of the dusk Who lost her wings but grew a tusk My wish for you, my little star Is that you stay the way you are The kinder soul that people seek To heal the pain that makes us weak Remember too, the needy poor By keeping less, and giving more To build a world, with God’s own light Where every soul, is loved on sight Your gentle heart is good and true And so my joy is full in you For you have made my life complete By all the ways you made it sweet Your love is kind to me each day And so my fight would be to stay But someone near is calling me To take me home, where I must be And from that mansion on a hill My love for you will be there still To hold you deep within my heart As we grow near and not apart In this old house, where love was lost Your Grandma paid a heavy cost For she is lonely, letters say By how she pushed us both away Your future here is bright indeed With Grandma's love to be your lead The plans you make will all come true Because you love them as you do And so my spirit, borne of wings Will fly me to those fertile springs Where endlessly the sky is blue And all my dreams are dreams of you.
