That's All I Ask

For nine months we live connected…sharing the same rhythm…so it should come as no surprise…how we share a similar message the first time we look into each other’s eyes.

It’s a message at first unspoken…something all mothers and babies do.
Love me, we say with our eyes to one another, that’s all I ask of you.

Through all life’s highs and lows…all our successes and our failures too…our message to one another remains the same…
Love me, that’s all I ask of you.

When we meet someone we hope to share our life with…
when we know our love is true.
we look into each other’s eyes and say, 
Love me, that’s all I ask of you.…

As we grow older we make a wish to our friends and family 
as each day starts anew…
Love me, we whisper with our eyes closed…that’s all I ask of you.

Love me, that’s all I ask of you…
a message so innocent and sweet…
I wonder what our world would be like 
if we shared that message with everyone we meet.

Would it be happier place…
where peace, 
acceptance 
and joy shine through…
if Love me…is all I you ask of me…and all I ask of you?

And wouldn’t it be wonderful when our time on Earth is coming to an end…
when our life is almost through…
If the message we share with all those gathered round us is…
Thank you…for doing all I asked of you.
