For My Love

With a deep breath — I pray...

I pray that not only will our love endure
I pray that it will glow and grow
As strong as the noon day sun
Beating upon my back

I pray that it will remain as clear and pure
As the vast blue sky which envelops me

I pray that it will remain as free
As the breeze that my thoughts
Of love for you are floating upon

And most of all — I pray...

That it will glow and grow
And remain everlasting

Like the green grass and sustaining earth
Upon which I sit
And sing this song of love
To you

My Love...
