My One Big Love

~You are my heart you are my soul

the essence of my life~

~You are the part that makes me whole

my every reason why~

~You own my thoughts the all of day

and rule my dreams of night~

~And when I kneel to God I pray

to keep you in his sight~

~You are the flame that lights my life

and guides me in the dark~

~When I am wrong you show me right

always with regard~

~When I am sad you bring me joy

laughter takes it’s place~

~When I am angry and annoyed

you put a smile on my face~

~When I am ill you make me well

taking little sleep~

~Within your soul an Angel dwells

watching over me~

~You are my one my all my everything

no more could I want of~

~I need you more than anything

you are my one big love~

For My Friend

~Of that the heart a fire burns

for she who falls in love~

~Be that so great in of her yearn

her thought be not thereof~

~Her love for he be not returned

nor does he even care~

~So does she love so is she spurned

her heart be stripped to bare~

~He she loved her heart he broke

the man be worthy not~

~In that of sorrow be gone her hope

for that the man she sought~

~Be that she guard her heart of lust

from love that cannot be~

~Control the flame sometimes unjust

~Be that of now so full of tears

for that the man she yearned~

~In of her heart be smolder sears

where once the fire burned~

~Take heed in that be careful of

the fire in your lust~

~Sometimes the flame of burning love

be bound in that combust~

~One day her love shall come to pass

~Be she I speak be of my friend
