I have a life and it is yours
there isn’t much of it left
but it is yours
no riches have I
but I give all that I have
my heart
inside my heart I have
true love
it is yours and no one else’s
ahhh . . .
when peace come to me
for my final resting place
you call it death
but ‘tis only a hiatus
heed my words
take my heart
take all of my love
they are yours forever

And when it all comes down to it my friend, love is the only thing a person really has that is truly worth something....It is the one valuable thing a person can leave behind.

A Perfect Valentine!
