Sweet Love

As I looked-

into her eyes-

my heart she took-

like the rain from the sky!

A love so pure-

from deep inside her!

this love-

was given to me-

from above!

Can you see?

I am blessed-

my soul does she possess!

Sweet and naive-

and quite shy-

with a heart-

bigger than the sky!

I imagine her dreams-

the treasures they hold!

To me she seems-

to never grow old!

Through many years-

I’ve never feared-

she would leave me-

she loves me you see!

To have and to hold-

in my vows I told!

‘Till death will we stay-

forever and a day!

Never apart-

to end from the start!

My partner in life-

never no strife!

From heaven above-

came my cherished love!

As I lay myself to sleep-

my dreams of her I’ll keep!

When I wake-

her love I’ll take!
