Gift For You

A poem to my sweet heart.

The changes, they've been many

The Lovers, they've been few

I have this one more gift girl

That I would like to give to you

 

The changes, they've been many

The Laughter, seems a far and distant thing

I have this one more song inside

That I would like for you to sing

 

The changes, they've been many

The Struggles, they seem stronger every day

I have this one more feeling that is burning deep inside

That I would so like to give away

 

The changes, they've been many

The Peace, too much War in between

I have this Heart that is yearning for a change

That I would finally no longer be so mean

 

The changes, they've been many

The Years, they just seem to fly on by

I have this child inside that so longs to be free

That I would find my joy while you sing the lullaby

 

The changes, they've been many

The Tears, not too many for being here so long

I have this thing girl I just don't know what it is

That I would be freed and then we would be so strong

 

The changes, they've been many

The Stories, have grown as years gone through

I have this golden memory it is from long and distant time

That I would like to share with you

 

The changes, they've been many

The Lovers, they've been few

I guess all that I really want to say

That I sure like this dream with you

 

The changes, they've been many

The kids, they've been more than a few

I guess all that I really want to say

Is that my gift is my precious love I have for you

 

The changes, they've been many

The Love, it has always been there from you for me

I have this final question been burning deep inside

That I would know that you are happy here with me

 

The changes, they've been many

The Trust, that we will always be

I have this thing inside me and it so wants to get out

That I would know that you still feel free

 

The changes, they've been many

The Life, it has been a good one

I have this one more gift inside of me

It is my Heart here, and now two are one.

 

My closets have been emptied

My burdens been made light

And all I want to say girl

Is let's start anew our journey tonight

 

You are my shining moment

You are all that can quench my thirst

And together we can create a world

Where each other puts the other first

 

We can find a new beginning

We can find our youth again

And once we dream together

Our Holy Joy will have no end

 

The changes, they've been many

The Lovers, they've been few

I have this one more gift girl

That I would like to give to you
