Can I

Can I say more
than what touches me inside,
warms my soul,
lives in my heart,
breathes .  .  . for me –
can I feel more than the love I know –

Can I say more
than what touches me inside,
warms my soul,
lives in my heart,
breathes .  .  . for me –
when thou has freed my soul,
filled my heart,
taken my breath away,
and opened my eyes till I see nothing .  .  .
but you.

Can I love you –  more than I know.

Can I .  .  .

No.

...actually I guess that would depend on how much beer I've had to drink - Har, har!

Hey jwesley

Your words always leave me smiling and this was no exception. I always look forward to reading your inspiring words.

Take care.........Sue
