Make Me Stay
Wake me with your gentile touch
Raise me with life’s need so much
Promise to be here when I return
Let your love be what I earn
Thank you for the loving lunch
That fixed my care’s and the such
The piece of cake that was so sweet
The apple that appeared so meek
Thanks for just filling my day
With thoughts of you that makes me stay
With dreams of you that make me play
With needs of you that make me pray
Thanks for dinner so divine
A time to share a prayer and dine
And thanks for sharing evening time
Watching T.V. your laugh with mine
Thanks for my future home
Our plans and wishes not left alone
Filling rooms with furniture and flesh
Our future hopes we give to our best
Thanks for a day that ends with prayer
That thanks my God that you are there
Thanks for sharing my bed and sleep
And for sharing the moments that we weep
Just for listening to my dreams
And you signaling your list of needs
That let you stay with no need to leave
And makes us proud of the basket we weaved
