In the ethereal purple darkness of night
your love hath illuminated the dark, lonely
streets of my mind, body, heart, and soul.
Under the sun's precious balmy light,
your sweet love hath brightened the days
of my despondent life.
In the bitter, rainy clouds of my despair
you hath given me reason to rejoice.
And through the winding paths of my journey
upon this earth's bitter path you have given
unto me a reason to carry on, for your love
is a wonderfully, joyous life fulfilling gift,
given unto me without reservation, requirements,
nor edicts of restitution.
