~Sweet Surrender~ < !signature-->Amy M. Kennedy No more questions of when and why The only sound my heart makes now is a contented sigh Sweet surrender is what I give to you Lift my head to the heavens, smiling as I do Your love has provided this old soul some peace And the heartache I've experienced in the past has come to a cease I give you all my love, open and free And with you forever is where I want to be All I ask is for you to be honest and true I'll never ask anything more from you I am the desert and you are the rain Our lives having touched, we'll never be the same When we are apart, just close your eyes And in an instant, I'll be by your side No matter where I go, no matter what I do Today, forever, and always I will love and cherish you Crash And Burn Savage Garden chorus ~dedicated to my sweetheart~ "Let me be the one you call If you jump I'll break your fall Lift you up and fly away with you into the night If you need to fall apart I can mend a broken heart If you need to crash then crash and burn You're not alone" "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends." "Fate exists but it can only take you so far, Because once you're there It's up to you to make it happen." [This message has been edited by Aimster (edited 06-19-2000).] |

Amy, this is great!! To have that kind of love is truly a blessing...or in my case, to dream about that kind of love. But, you expressed it so beautifully here. Thank you for sharing a lovely piece. I get excited every time you pen something new because I always know it will be something that touches my heart. --You can either take me as I am...or you can watch me as I go.-- |

AMY-GIRL.. each poem just gets better and better i LOVE this beauty... love the sentiments and dedication of it keep em coming... never can get enough love poems for amy and her "love".... Sweet Surrender~ Sarah McLachlan It doesn't mean much it doesn't mean anything at all the life I've left behind me is a cold room I've crossed the last line from where I can't return where every step I took in faith betrayed me and led me from my home And sweet sweet surrender is all that I have to give You take me in no questions asked you strip away the ugliness that surrounds me are you an angel am I already that gone I only hope that I won't disappoint you when I'm down here on my knees And sweet sweet sweet surrender is all that I have to give Sweet sweet sweet surrender is all that I have to give And I don't understand by the touch of your hand I would be the one to fall I miss the little things oh I miss everything It doesn't mean much it doesn't mean anything at all the life I left behind me is a cold room. |
