Let Me
Tiffany Abbott 1980 (United States)
Hand me your burden
My dear
Let me
Carry that
For you
I have
buried mine deep
So I can
Carry yours too
Why yes
My hands
are full
My heart too
With a few others
But that's okay
I'll thrust it
Up here
High upon
my shoulders
With this one
And that one
And these
and those
And His
And hers
And theirs
And those
And a
Few more
My own
Oh but
Of course
I can
Get yours
Certainly my sweet
Yes It is
Quite heavy
But hand me
Your burden
My friend
Let me
Hold it
For Thee
When my spine
Surely breaks
I will
Drop to
My knees
Crawl slowly
But still carry
It for thee
Until the day
The weight
I can
No longer
Take
Forces my body
To give way to
the despair
I will carry
It all
Til I just
Fall asleep
But do
Not fret
My love
Your load
I still
Carry
Neither
Heaven nor
Hell could
Let me
Unbare it
