How Can I Tell You

How can I tell you that I love you,
what can I do to let you know that it's true?
If I gave you the stars from the sky or the moon above,
would that show you true love?
How about a diamond bright one that shows pure light,
would that prove my love was right?
Or perhaps some gold and silver will do,
I would give it all to you.
But all I have to offer is my heart,
I feel it breaking when we're apart.
So my love tell me what to do,
how can I tell you that I love you?

This is very beautiful. The most precious thing you have is your heart. Be careful who you give it to. Remember that real love works both ways. If it don't it's not true love.... Lucilla

Love needs, in addition to words and gifts, actions of caring and concern! You see my friend Joseph, a gram of appropriate action rates more than a tone of words! Beautiful poem, sensitive , tender and romantic!
