To Love

To touch, to feel, to see sunrise,
To know, to learn, my spirit dies.
To forgive, to forget, to cherish, to hold,
To caress your body, so radiant, so bold.
To hurt, to bleed, my soul shall do,
To give my heart only to you.
To look up to Heaven, beyond and above,
To look down to Hell, the creation of love.
To shed a tear for a mournful loss,
I give to you, my heart, I cross.
To whisper your name, so alone, so scared,
My love to you, I gave, I bared.



Dedicated to my husband...rest in peace
