MY HEART IS SO FULL OF LOVE

 

My heart is so full of love

Yet my words alone can't say,

They simply fail to express

What I wish to convey

 

I am just like an infant

Mumbling the snips and bytes

Of unformed language

To incoherently recite

 

I am like a foreign visitor

Trying to translate into English

Trying to formulate phrases

Instead translating into gibberish

 

My heart is so full of love

So why can I not just say

That I love you darling

Why is it so hard to convey

FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU ARE

 

For everything that you are

And for everything that you do

For all of this and so much more

With all my heart I thank you

FOR EVERY LITTLE THING ABOUT YOU

 

For every little thing about you

Every way you’ve showed you cared

For all the happy laughter

And all the happy times we’ve shared

 

For always being there

And being the essential part of my life

For just being with me

And for agreeing to become my wife

ARE YOU THE ONE?

 

I'd like to give you the special key

That unlocks my forbidding heart

But I must be sure you are the one

I must know that before we start

Or the secret of the golden key

I would be unable to impart

BENIGN SPIRIT

 

Let me surround you

Like a benign spirit

Comforting and protecting

Let me envelope you like a cloak of love

Wrapping you in a goose down quilt

To warm your soul from winters grip

Let me nourish and nurture

And blow gently on the embers of love

In your sad and lonely heart

THE LIGHT OF LOVE

 

I want to stir the slumber

Of your lonesome heart

And shine a loving light

Into the corners of the dark

AUBURN HEADED MAIDEN FAIR

 

All I can do is stand and stare

At the Auburn headed maiden fair

The girl with the shinning brown hair

Oh beautiful maiden standing there

With tresses of reddish-brown hair

Please be the answer to my prayer
