Love Eternal

                                                        Your face appears kind and tender

                                                        Your lips soft and gentle

                                                        Your eyes searching and alluring

                                                         With the promise of our first kiss

                                                         I am bewitched and owned

                                                         My heart and soul forever yours

                                                         How is it that our days begin

                                                         With warm and shimmering glows

                                                         Of sunlight and mutual happiness

                                                         And end with glorious sunsets

                                                         Alone and without you

                                                         My heart aches with need

                                                         My body shaking with unfulfilled desire

                                                         Your image appears in my mind

                                                         And I’m lost in love eternal

                                                         Never again to steal a glance

                                                          At a passing temptation

                                                         With the knowing reminder

                                                         That true love is pure and all-consuming

                                                          And so has it been for our lifetimes

                                                          With hearts joined in love

                                                          Never fearing and never parting

                                                          For as we have lived with God in our hearts

                                                           So shall we live forever

                                                           In the Heart of God
