So overwhelming the emotion overflows into the mind from deep inside
Tell it to the paper where unloaded emotions-turned-thoughts can reside
Words, even the most beautiful and convincing often mean nothing
Close to you, dedication will be the message that means everything
Be to you what you need me to, stay home and not stray, all truth and no lie
Most precious is what I neither gave nor did, from here on I will more than try

Patience, forgiveness, love abounding, faithfulness, consistency,
Like a cavernous rocky hill, so accommodating, yet persistent
Reflection of everything I should be, the light for me
The incredible one that seats me on the knee
Makes me feel like a cherished child again, I do not mind
Teaches me to leave all the worthless burdens behind
Reminds me everyday there is always reason to smile
My, the strength that sees me through the distance of the mile

Forgiveness even when I fail in the worst of ways
My sunrise, my sun rays, my sunshine on cold and rainy days
What is a betrayal, even betrayal, when love is the power?
Beyond my hope, through the worst of storms, this bond is a tower
Can I ever match the great patience?
Or in those shoes, the great perseverance?
Wisdom told me every emotion, prowess, vice, virtue and effort has a limit
Rather than test you to the limit, I will climb with you to the summit

Standing right by me the impossible person
Hard to understand but “Love” is the given reason,
Inside of you; the inner being has the deepest depth on this planet
The incredible personality draws me like a powerful magnet
That heart is the biggest place to ever contain my being
Perfecting my heart’s uncertain act of selfless giving
If I was a fragile ship on a tempestuous sea
I would have no fears that I might sink, I see
Even if the turbulent waters pulled me in with all their rancor
Through any raging tempest on any sea, you’d be my anchor
