No Other
My claim to fame is in your name
No other name will do
For if they all applaud me yet
I crave applause from you
No other praise will meet my gaze
No others words will do
For what they write althought alright
Was not written by you
No other face can dare erase
Your image in my mind
For though they all are very dear
You are one of a kind
No other line is as sublime
As this that you write down
For though their rhymes are really fine
Yours are a jeweled crown
No other touch can mean as much
As that from poet hand
For though the other words caress
It's yours that can command
No other speaks life to my heart
No other soothes the ache
For though their rhymes bring sweet relief
I stay for your dear sake.
