| James Kavanaugh Will You Still Love Me? When the day frightens me And the fog r efuses to melt before the sun, When the accusers rise within me from the past And tell me I have failed When i feel scarely valuable enought to live, Will you still love me? When weariness overpowers me And I fear I cannot go on, When there is no joy in my heart, And I struggle to laugh and even breathe, When I'm afraid I have accomplished nothing worthwhile, Will you still love me? When I am caught in the coccon of lost memories And encapsulated in marauding anxieties, When the bruises of the past make me prisoner, And all the things I once dared now seem impossible, When my thoughts race in a thousand, helpless directions, Will you still love me? When I have finally answered the past accusing voices And find consistent delight in the present moment, When I can laugh far into the night And am strong and brave in the morning, When I have found the serene rhythm of my life-force, And can walk without clinging and run without bonds, When I do not seem to need you, even then, Will you still love me?
