  All the Rest

   

  I would like to rest

  in the shadow of your smile

  I would like to go along the road a bit

  and lean on your arm

  for the last mile

  or so

   

  for a little while

  and take the time

  to hear the music of the years

  tumble past my ears

   

  I would like to rest for a space

  with the kindness in your face

  and a little gentleness would not be out of place.

   

  A song for living might be seemly here

  I`ve gratitude

  for a loving touch

  and thoughts of grace....
