The strength I need br Is so oft difficult to find br When my eyes fill up with unshed tears br I long to be gathered in your arms br And hide my face....... br br Weakness has overtaken my bones br My heart a quiver takes br Till I close my eyes and see you br As courage personified! br br New energy fills my being...... br Your calm smile.... br Your long fingers br br As you caress my cheeks br Clean wiping my every tear....... br Your eyes are full of love br Your arms around me strong....... br br Will you my lord br Bent to kiss my forehead? br Just bend a little....... just for me? br br Add some oil to keep my lamp burning... br Burning through the night? br br Till I find the voice to speak? br Add a reverent prayer to every star br That flickers in the sky? br br To let you remain for ever with me.........
