The Moon, the Stars and Heaven, Too

Over the moon I threw a rope
to drag it down to give to thee.
This I did with a hope
that you would come to love me.

I pulled two stars from the skies
to give to you to show my love.
They paled compared to your eyes
and so I sent them back above.

For your love I would do
anything you asked of me.
If, my love, you only knew.
If, my love, you could see.

The stars, the moon and heaven, too.
There's nothing I would not give to you.

A lovely devotional piece, full of longing and sweet emotion. Well constructed with splendid flow and rhyming. You're always here, so I can always find you. You are a talented poet. Best wishes, Keith
