Ryan Gayagay Poet Terzanelle

Where Thou Art Is Where I Want To Be

I’d give away my freedom just for thee 
And gladly be thy servant all my life,
For where thou art is where I want to be

In this uncertain world that’s full of strife,
I’d be thy guide through all adversities
And gladly be thy servant all my life.

I lack so many of good qualities:
With such as I am and whate’er my strength
I’d be thy guide through all adversities.

Come take my hand and however the length
This journey takes, I would not flinch but face,        
With such as I am and whate’er my strength.

However far or tiresome be the race;  
However doubtful the future for us
This journey takes, I would not flinch but face.

If thy heart were a gaol that to live thus,  
I’d give away my freedom just for thee; 
However doubtful the future for us,
For where thou art is where I want to be.
