Just For You.
elizabeth Powers Merrill.)


All the best of life longed for
Just for you, dear,
Just for you.
Roses redder than my hearts blood.
Seas of amber skies of blue.
Blood as unStained as the stainless,
Ever to mans kingdom true
Life as boundless as the fioodtide,
Just for you!
All the best of life measured
Just for you, dear,
Just for you.
Honor, wealth, and glory treasured
| AS the days of childhood flew.
| Happy years in which to gather
Blessings for your whole life through,
| All within times circle gathered
Just for you!
| My eyes scanned the distant future
Just for you, dear.
All my dreams were dreams unbounded
Taking on the rainbows hue.
| Glory of the past and present
Flashing with lfe's colors new
! Greater deeds and aspirations
Just for you!
Other dreams than mine have been
Just for you, dear,
Just for you.
The Great Dreamer saw beyond me
/ Saw new deeds for you to do.
A low grave all wet with dew
All my dreams were part of Gods
dreams
Just for you!
