All I Can Give You

All I can give you
is JOY …..
to give you comfort
after you toil
listen to my funny stuff
until you laugh
show you my smile
until you retire
onto your bed
where you lay your head.

All I can give you
is LOVE ….
that no one can give
but only my heart
each day as you lay
I hold you tight
to keep your load light
I bring you close
to my chest
to give you rest
for after years of despair
you have my heart
that truly cares.

All I can give you
is LIFE ….
that has been elusive
over the years
until the end
I won’t bend
this ultimate promise
that I won’t remiss
an endless life to share
that no one else dares.

All I can give you
is HOPE ….
that the future is much better
with you and I together
our children will always remember
the good times we have
blessed by Someone above
love so intense and deep
is the only hope
that the future is really ours to keep.
