An Ode to You
My ears run towards the sound of your voice;
Our hearts beat together, a steady, bold drum;
Of all the beauty in nature, you are my choice;
In your beauty and spirit, I succumb!
In your brunette eyes, I get lost;
Alone without your gentle touch;
I will give you the world, no matter cost!
Obstacles stopping me from you– nonesuch!
Let us watch the moon.
Let us watch the sun.
Our love– that of a tree;
God be our roots;
Wind blows the leaves with glee;
Oh– the lovely fruits!
Or– our love– that of a sea.
Water overflows of God’s gifts raining down;
Waves of grace flow free;
Oh– Sweet Queen, where is your crown?
Let us lie in nigh.
Let us wake at daybreak.
Our love– oh how great!
Our love– oh how good!
Our love raises joy to Heaven’s Gate;
Standing in our way– surely what could?
Yes, my Queen, my love for you;
You, my Sweet, are worth more than jewel;
See all the great things God can do;
You, my Dear, a wonderful miracle!
Let us hold all night.
Let us hold all day.
