Nothing less
Sweet Mary Jane
bade me follow where she led.
I went eagerly.
She was my life’s one true love.
All the others,
there were many,
could not promise
what she offered with ease.
She gave me God.
Nothing less.
She introduced me to eternity.
Nothing less.
She restored my soul.
Nothing less.
She consoled me during times of strife.
Nothing less.
She gave me courage to face fear.
Nothing less.
She was all and everything.
Nothing less.
When I committed myself to her
before that God, for eternity;
She took it all away.
Nothing less.
Sweet Mary Jane;
though you left me broken
dying in the street;
I still love you
for what you gave me.
There would be no God;
no comprehension of eternity.
Nothing less.
