River's Edge

I sit at the river's edge

Deep currents and eddies

Bear you away

I throw a rope

of hope

of love

of promise

To draw you to me

To safety

It is not yet time

I am not the one

To save

I stand at the river's edge

Dark, churning waters

Carry you away

I release the rope

Relinquishing you to the care

of true Love

We are always safe

Though we know it not

You are in my heart always

I love you

I love you

I love you
