I have to move on and on
To reach the land where my beloved is
My struggle is a long quest
But the reward awaits me as my bliss.
I have found this world mostly of men
And women who can be but selfish
And when this lovely woman crossed my path
I did not take long to say "Amen" --
To say "Amen" to God's plan for me
Among all He gave me the very best 'she'
To praise her traits is to praise my Lord
As without His Will nothing can 'be'.
Some say I lament in my feelings for her
Such folks do not know what love really is
In love like mine or Romeo's
There is no lamenting, there is bliss.
Physical and skin-deep beauty adorns all
When youth does with its magic enthrall
But it is the soul's loveliness that fades not
And my beloved is endowed with it a lot.
She is one of the rare and vanishing breed
Of women who come blessed with the gift to love
Vanity or pride is not their creed
For they come blessed from our God above.
My beloved rare woman did what no one could
Saved me from being engulfed by a quagmire
In her words of solace and comforting deeds
I found a love which is born of cool fire.
And as time passed she restored my lost courage
And with her gentle ways she healed my heart
She reciprocated the love in me for her
And not once did she employ any callous art.
I have true friends who stand by me
At all times, in joy, in misery
But she stands out as the one loving woman
Who loves to give her all to me.
Her love borders on the mystical
Her views are visionary and spiritual
She is never unkind, capricious or frail
And her being is divinely magical.
I am quite experienced in this world's ways
Can sift the false from the genuine
So I say this with all the faith in me
That I am hers and she is just mine.
If anybody dares to doubt this truth
I am ready to step in and defend her
For me, to love her, is to love God
And let no human dare to defile her.
Our love is not based on lust nor greed
Nor does it depend on any selfish need
What we have for each other is true
True love which very few felt or knew.
