If ever you should doubt, read these words: My love for you shall never die Though I succumb to Time’s persuasion And life and limb should fall aside. Here upon this page, on this occasion Is writ but a taste of my devotion; Within my heart does full reside Your perfect, true and wondrous grace The beauty of your perfect face The lasting touch of your embrace. Whenever I should falter or despair And think that I shall never dare Know what may be true and right and fair I have but to look to you, For in you is my salvation Without you is my desolation. No other shall I ever love As fully and completely as I do you And never shall I love as true. The noblest battles are always fought in vain |

Wonderfully written, the words roll off the tongue and make music. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

An enjoyable read! It flows nicely, and should be read aloud. It would be a wonderful addition to the book. |

Just flows from the lips Like music it rips The air apart Written from the heart Thanks for sharing sir! Wonderful write! Very wonderful indeed! “Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, and yet a third of life is passed in sleep.” -Lord Byron |
