LOVE

Love is such a wondrous thing,
it makes the spirit soar and the soul sing.
Me and you are meant to be,
the Love we have has set me free.
From chains encased, from depths below,
the Love I feel can only grow.
Like a simple bud brought into bloom,
petals unfold, a flower emerges from the gloom.
The weight I felt, bearing down,
has gone away, has gone to ground.
I'm flying high above the clouds,
like a beautiful bird, away from the crowds.
You hold my hand, we are as one,
together we fly over land and ocean.
And when we come back down to earth,
your arms encase me and hold me close.
Don't ever let me fly away!
I'm forever yours and here to stay.
So take my hands and hold them tight,
because this Love is oh, so right.
