I Bow To Love

What has been given, 
And for what taken. I measure.
Because I smile at nothing 
And weep for all. 
For that I bow down to love. 

Pain it gives, I take without murmurs,
And never giving her a full smile. 
But always, a complete gaze 
With her back to me. 


The girl, which was my home. 
Where fear and anger would 
Never be thought a guest. 
The love which every day, reminds me,
 and lets me fall slowly.


For the peace it gave
And the life it created. 
My destiny was shaped, I was changed.
To everything that happened, 
 I thought it was Perfect. 
For that I bow down to love.
