Ethereal Moments The Poetry of Donavon Scott Vinson
Why I Love Thee
Alas my fair and lovely lady,
let me count the many ways that
I adore thee...
Because thou art fair and full of wondrous grace,
do I greatly admire thee...
For thy wonderfully serene demeanor, and charity,
do I desire thee...
Because thou art one of God's precious angels,
do I seek thee...
For thy benevolence and faithful servitude to God,
and what thou believe do I follow after thee...
Because thou art merciful and lovely in attitude,
do I truly want thee...
For thy glorious beauty do I solemnly pledge my life
to thee my sweet...
Because thou art a pleasant and fragrant flower planted
in this ugly world shall I protect thee from harm...
And for thy wonderful and precious love do I humbly
give the golden gift of my love to thee my wonderful lady.
Donavon Scott Vinson
~~~For my precious and sweet Margaret,
whom I love with all of my heart~~
