Love is all
To see you laying in silence
Powerless except for prayer
Fighting death in defiance
Do you know how much I care?
Love is all
When you read for me before I slept?
When you dried my tears as I wept?
When you listened to my words of sorrow?
When you gave me hope for a better tomorrow?
When you denied yourself to lend a hand?
When no one but you could understand?
Love is all
The sum of your deeds immense
Most of them given at your expense
Love is all
Cancer gnaws at your body consuming the bone
We are there so you know that you are not alone
Soon God will give a beckoning call
Love is all
Flowers, cards, a casket of finest wood
Tears of sorrow, kind words do you no good
You have left to a place of no return
Life’s most important message you helped me learn
Love is all
To see you laying in silence
Powerless except for prayer
Fighting death in defiance
Do you know how much I care?
Love is all
When you read for me before I slept?
When you dried my tears as I wept?
When you listened to my words of sorrow?
When you gave me hope for a better tomorrow?
When you denied yourself to lend a hand?
When no one but you could understand?
Love is all
The sum of your deeds immense
Most of them given at your expense
Love is all
Cancer gnaws at your body consuming the bone
We are there so you know that you are not alone
Soon God will give a beckoning call
Love is all
Flowers, cards, a casket of finest wood
Tears of sorrow, kind words do you no good
You have left to a place of no return
Life’s most important message you helped me learn
Love is all
