ETERNITY

No book, poem or words

Can ever express the love that I feel

Now, for you...

No spirit, bird or chord

Can ever play the music that I feel

Now, for you...

No past, present or future

Can ever create the emotion that I feel

Now, for you...

Because when we meet

Your glance goes deep

Much, much farther, who knows where?

Touches the boundaries of my soul

And makes me feel complete...

It is the thrill of surrender,

It is the warmth of the sender:

And the sending comes from you...

That is why the waves of love

Only kiss the shores of an open soul,

With the softness of a dove...

This precious love you receive

Is the everlasting gratefulness

Which my living can conceive...
