Come To Me

Come to me my dearest one and sit here by my side.
Let the strains of music be from words I want to hear.
Let the sounds of laughter fill the air and in my mind
leave the words that linger there to wipe away a tear.

Lie with me, my only love and hold me close to you
allowing all my thoughts to be surrounded by your care.
In the comfort of your love life's burdens are diminished.
Hold me now until I find these burdens are not there.

Love with me my only one throughout eternity.
Let the number of the stars count days of loving you.
May I hold you close and ever keep you in my heart
knowing that my love, my love, is cherished by you too.

Beautifully done. the last line says SO much...just knowing your love means something to the one you love makes all the difference in the world to any relationship.

Ohme..I really enjoyed this one, but your rhyme scheme doesn't work in the second stanza
Lie with me, my only love and hold me close to you
allowing all my thoughts to be surrounded by your care.
In the comfort of your love life's burdens are diminished.
Hold me now until I find these burdens are all gone.

have you thought about trying something like
Lie with me, my only love and hold me close to you
allowing all my thoughts to be surrounded by your care.
In the comfort of your love life's burdens are diminished.
Hold me now until I find my burdens no longer there.

Ohme,
Agree with Hoot, worth a rewrite.

Thanks Hoot and Seymour. I always like a pat on the back but I also welcome suggestions for improvement. I like it better now myself.
Thanks for your comments. Hope you like the edited version.
