WARNING: Love's © copyright 2005 Ward Green A buried treasure foundWhen I was still a boy I breathed unbounded joy Embraced a hope so bright and dreams so strong That to this very day Though blessed the more I pray Through caution they endure and just belong This sand along the shore Which washed and watered more Attains a certain soft and silken feel The rays of sun-white strand Evoke gnarled pine trees grand As sweet aroma wafts in blinding reel That solitary rock Reminds a faithful flock Of cherished thoughts and long-forgotten whims The blazing heat of sands Awakes Such deeper strands As weave a web of oft-requited swims And in that fondest face Where yearning finds a place I do return forever to recall How patient is the will Such peace (my heart be still) Where visions of sweet bliss engulf us all When eagles soar in flight Brave warriors lead the fight And good things come in faith to those who dare So what exalted role What part without a whole What spirit breathes without someone to share The town where I was born A mindful path well-worn A beauty as excels a heart's desire These things belong to me To who I longed to be And who (I venture) yet will stir the fire All good things in my life Fullfilled within my wife Reveal an ever-present master plan You render even more-- My will to just adore You make me want to be-- a better man No word can yet express A sorrow I confess A love as boils deep beneath this calm A shameful thing indeed To want to plant the seed Then leave my soul to languish in my palm But on my darkest day God sent his Brightest Ray I can't believe I found a love so true These feelings that I feel I take to heart-- I kneel Ask blessings for this Greatest Love...(so due) See Love's Original Version here |
