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.
