Eternal Love

Let me feel your tender winds

Beneath my tired and aching arms,

That I may catch a much-needed breath.

Let me lay my weary head 

In the comfort of your bosom,

Close my tired eyes,

Sleep a while.

And if, when I wake from my slumber, 

I have sailed away into silence 

Of a somber summers eve,

May you remember me, still, with a smile?

For there in the dusky distance,

Across wild, raging oceans,

Strong, swaying forests

And the sighing sands of the deserts...

...Though time and distance tore us apart,

Ever will I be smiling

Upon your warm tender heart.
