Take my words
Not sharply
For to temper them
I try
And if in them
You find rhythm
Hold them as
A lullaby
To comfort
Come the bleeding black
Of one more
lonely night
take my words
not sharply
for I speak
of what is right.

Take my hand
Not firmly
Let my fingers
Lie in grace
Upon your open palm
Against your
Shadowed face
And hold it
For no longer
Than my heart
Is blessed to beat
Take my hand
For but a moment
While forever
Would be sweet.

Take my life
For now, forever
From this morn
‘Til winters frost
Embrace it
Come the warmth of spring
And when falls
Leaves are tossed
With careless abandon
Blown by whispered winds
About
Take my life
For now, forever
Given freely
Without doubt.

Yes! A lovely piece of work.

"Take my life
For now, forever
From this morn
‘Til winters frost
Embrace it
Come the warmth of spring
And when falls
Leaves are tossed"

beautiful beautiful

I love these lines

**************
Take my hand
Not firmly
Let my fingers
Lie in grace
Upon your open palm
Against your
Shadowed face
And hold it
For no longer
Than my heart
Is blessed to beat
Take my hand
For but a moment
While forever
Would be sweet.

Thank you, all. It seems so much of my memory is caught up in the past, heart held steel-grip tight, that I forget there is always a chance in tomorrow.

here's to tomorrow. ~sandra
