Love Eternal

I grant you my eternal love

Do with it what you may

Such emotions sent from above

Can never fade away

 

Our love transcends the highest mount

And o'er the valley deep

The width of the ocean cannot amount

To our love at its very peak

 

I love your fingers in my hair

Your strong and firm embrace

I love it when you squeeze me there

And kiss me on my face

 

Your laughter cheers up any day

That may be filled with saddness

It chases away any dismay

And fills my heart with gladness

 

No gentler lips I'll ever know

No softer touch, no sweeter eyes

I love it when you arch your brows

When you get a big surprise

 

You sleep like a child in the night

You are so perfect it seems

I love to sit and hold you tight

And watch your face as you dream

 

You hold the world in your powerful hands

And your delicate newborn too

To shield her from the unyielding sands

Of time that surround you two

 

There is no greater love than that

Of a parent for their child

And the affection that they offer back

So tender, meek and mild

 

You've carried me so far and yet

You'll take me on til the end

All of your kindness I'll never forget

For you, with my life I'll defend

 

There is no boundary I will not cross

I'll leave no stone unturned

For without you I am surely lost

Cause I need your help to return

 

I shall walk the hills and dales

And I'll swim the ocean blue

I'll follow evey beaten trail

All this I'll do for you

 

I will take the sacred journey

To the places time forgot

My words I express openly

My love I supress not

 

It may be hard now to find your place

You may feel you're going to fail

Just remember that in this lonesome race

In the end love will prevail
