What does my lover offer me? Wealth? No, But poverty and struggles, hopes and fears, And pain and joy; a life where love will grow Triumphant o'er the swiftly passing years; A home where love shall reign supreme, and hope Is ever manifested in our lives, Whose very presence gives us strength to cope With trouble and the things on which it thrives. What does my lover offer me? Life? Yes, A life of peace, where Love and God both reign, Where each one strives in honor to possess The noble things a better life would gain. Where parentage is held to be divine, Where baby voices laugh and crow in glee, Where love is looked on as a blessed shrine, These are the things my lover offers me. |
