Rhythm Next to Mine
13 August 2006

Just to feel her heart
beating in rhythm next to mine
Just to feel her soul
and know it was near

Would God grant so promises
or was a wish a hope in contrast
As if age had no limits
if that age was combined

How many years
in giving one hundred and ten percent
That gratitude of love in its fullness
to live, to die, to shed a tear

Her eyes, her heart, her soul
if God gave love
One can only pray
He can also make
two hearts, in unity, whole


“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed
abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.”
Romans 5: 5 KJV
