TO MY WIFE

All that I ask for is someone to love me
someone to love me, just someone like you.
For all that I live for is that you will love me
for ever and ever as I will love you.
Take what I offer and make it so precious
for so precious is love that I take it from you.
My taking is giving all for your pleasure
all for the pleasure in sharing with you.
Would that a blossom fall and be wasted
the flower that we share will bloom one anew.
For what more addictive is love once it’s tasted
like petals of flowers enhanced by the dew.
You are my purpose, my reason for living
you are the reason why I’ll always love you.
