Keep These Words Close (verse)
Heath, Monroe
Keep These Words Close Silence and calm this hour claim my soul; In their clear light I see where I have erred. Pursuing self as if self were a goal, I was too blind to think my vision...
...Monroe Heath...
...Because I love you and because I know That in your love for me you will forgive, Content to suffer my imagined woe (Yourself the sacrifice that I may live), I tell you this...
...Pursuing self as if self were a goal, I was too blind to think my vision blurred...
...Keep these words close, for vain And weak am I; you'll need them soon again...
...So seeking, lost the very things I sought...
...Dearest, I hasten while my eyes are free To beg forgiveness for the pain I've brought, For my impatience and my cruelty...
