A LOVER~S REQUEST
Let my love be the soothing for that pain
That turns thy heart into a torturous pulse
And let that same love seek solace not in vain

When thy need is most.

Let my love be the shield to protect thee
From sorrow that sears the depts of men
And let that love forever be
Only what my heart can tend.

Let my love have no display
That hides behind a fanfare of pretense
And let it have crystal truth to say

The yearnings it conceals in moments tense.

Let it be the stepping stone to thy eternal goal
That permeates thy life in delicate hue

And let it be the mirror

reflecting thy soul

For in that way only, will you know I love vou!
