Your Level Head

When I seek more than I’m able –

When I write more than I’ve read

When I act a bit unstable –

You’ll keep a level head.

When the world is not worth living –

And I fear more than I dread –

When no one cares for giving –

You’ll keep a level head.

When I no longer can remember

One word I’ve ever said –

And my June becomes September –

You’ll keep a level head.

When I grow tired and weary –

No one to see me fed –

When my words are trite and dreary –

You’ll keep a level head

But as long as I can love you –

And hold you close instead –

You’ll never have a moment

To use your level head.
