At Your Service

An excerpt from the book entitled "Lyrically Speaking (Her...)" by Michael Barham

At Your Service

We lived through the good and the bad in each other

Survived on the love that we had for each other

Never be another that can take your spot

‘Cause when I think of you

I think of all the things they’re not

And all the love that we got…we earned it!

When that love got too hot…we burned it!

When “How to Love” was the lesson…we learned it!

Unsure until love confirmed it!

Unconcerned with the Joneses and moans at night

Feeling like a blind man that’s been shown the light

Or a mute that’s been given a voice

Life will always include you if I’m given a choice

And that’s the God’s honest…

I promise…

I’m as serious as I can be

Feels like I won the lottery with you beside me

You keep a fire lit that’s driving me

And motivating me to try to be the man I gotta be

So if I could see tomorrow

I want you in the frame doing the same

Loving you is such a beautiful thing

And as long as the blood’s blue in my veins we’ll maintain

Using water from the rain

To get through the flames

Now I’m not saying it’ll always be easy

Or always be perfect

But I am saying it’ll always be worth it

‘Cause I think you deserve it…

Give you my word as your King

And most humble servant

At your service…
