Then Love Will Do The
Rest
(For Shani)
I'll try to keep you safe
from harm;
I vow to do my best.
But if I lack in
anything, then love will do the rest.
Thank you for
your company
when days have weighed me down,
and all
those times you've guarded me
when strangers came
around.
You're always here within my
heart;
No closer can you be.
And now I understand
through you,
the love God feels for me.
I know that
you don't comprehend
everything I say,
but you have kept
a watchful eye
so you could learn the way.
Often, I am busy,
and I
find no time for you.
It's then, the Lord reminds
me
that your years with me are few.
And so, I won't
betray your trust
to always do my best.
But if I lack in
anything, then love will do the rest.
I'll find you at the
window
waiting patiently each day,
and know you love me so
because you
stare at me that way.
And when your years have
been fulfilled;
As hard as it will be,
I'll look into your eyes of love,
the
way you've looked at me.
I love you Shani. . .so much
more
than you could ever know.
And I'll be right beside you
when
it's time for you to go.
I'll know you've
given all you could
and always did your
best,
and though I'll walk away alone. . . .
Your love will do the rest.
