Beyond the Sea

I hold your gift of love with tender hands
and travel the perils of life with you
we'll feel sighs and tears that life demands
when our souls find a sense of love so true
in a glow that welcomes a brighter dawn
to light this realm of our love's sacred ground
when honeyed lips kiss before we've gone
and break the silence with a breathless sound
as lovers, we meet on a wondrous shore
to cross the sea of faith with hearts aglow
on winds that fill our sails forevermore
as we bask neath' the sun where love will grow
we tack upon the sea that time will chart
with a promise, that we will never part
