As long as I can dream,
as long as I can think,
as long as I have a memory...
I will love you.

As long as I have eyes to see
and ears to hear
and lips to speak...
I will love you.

As long as I have a heart to feel,
a soul stirring within me,
an imagination to hold you,
and as long as I have a breath
to speak your name...
I will love you,
because I love you more
than anything in all the world.

I Am Not Yours


I am not yours, not ­lost in you,
Not lost­, although I long to­ be
Lost as a candle ­lit at noon,
Lost as ­a snowflake in the s­ea.

You love me, and I f­ind you still
A spiri­t beautiful and brig­ht,
Yet I am I, who l­ong to be
Lost as a l­ight is lost in ligh­t.

Oh plunge me deep in­ love-put out
My sens­es, leave me deaf an­d blind,
Swept by the­ tempest of your lov­e,
A taper in a rushi­ng wind.

MOTHER'S LOVE

There are times when only a Mother's love
Can understand our tears,
Can soothe our disappoints
And calm all of our fears.

There are times when only a Mother's love
Can share the joy we feel
When something we've dreamed about
Quite suddenly is real.

There are times when only a Mother's faith
Can help us on life's way
And inspire in us the confidence
We need from day to day.

For a Mother's heart and a Mother's faith
And a Mother's steadfast love
Were fashioned by the Angels
And sent from God above.
