THE REST OF ME
Where were you
in my dark night?
Did you feel my pain?
Could you sense my fright?
Were you who I touched
when I reached out to see,
what had become,
of the rest of me?
Were you the force
that kept me sane?
When all was lost
only love remained?
Yes, it was you!
No one else could do
the things you did
to pull me through.
And now that I'm free
and home again,
let's forget the pain
a new life begin.
The joy of these years
will replace the tears,
'cause, in my arms will be,
the rest of me.
