Not for a single moment  
Could I ever succeed
In this life... 
If I knew you weren't
holding fast to all our dreams...
And loving me.

When I feel my mortality,
Sparring and agonizing 
Against the twistings of life,
When I want to succomb and surrender...
Your love comforts me, soothes me.
Brings renewed strength.

I settle myself in your strong- gentle arms
And I am home again.
