I can only love you
With my very heart and soul
I can only give to you
What I have in control

I can only be ME
As simple as the truth
I can be young in spirit
But I no longer have my youth

I cannot give, what is not mine
But, all of mine, is yours
It really has no value
It's worth is nothing more

I cannot devise a purpose
For one, not fully known
But I can tell you secrets
Of how my love has grown

I cannot give you riches
Those mean much less to me
I cannot give you power
For you have it, don't you see?

My quandry, then, appears to be
I ask with heavy sigh
If I can only give myself
Is it enough, and why?

*when moments of self deprication are plaguing the spirit, these questions and more, arise. i hope that the answers are comforting and uplifting...if i were asked the same, i could only answer thusly....you are all i want and your love is a value that is priceless...friend or lover....pauper or king ....love always..k
