Sonnett 177

I don't want to be a green card lover I don't care what people say Because my love for you is forever green And I think about you night and day True love is not defined by limitation True love is not a slave to time Whether in riches or in poverty I know I can love you without a dime My heart has become a compass And its hands keeps tilting to the direction of your heart I knew you were the one for me right From the start I don't want to be a green card lover And to do so will be insincere But the pains of not seeing you again Is too hard for my heart to bear I don't want to be a green card lover I care little about the lust of men I would rather be down to earth with you Rather than to pretend So you married another man And I chose a wife which is not by my own design But the desires of the Lord supersedes the wishes of man And his instructions are divine I don't want to be a green card lover To love a woman just because of the benefit of her country I will rather look up to Jehovah, Lord Because with God I can never go hungry So I wish you happiness and wealth And of course good health And pray that we see again But deep in my heart I pray that we never part Because you love is driving me insane
