Oh Love Of Mine Poem by Rhonda Baker

Oh love of mine, Oh love of mine
Hear my call for all of time
I call across the fields of green and five Great lakes
Waiting for you, for heaven sake
For you’re always gone and I’m planted at home
Travel where you will, for you’re free to roam
If you return in the fall, you’ll find me down a wooded trail
If you come in the summer I’ll be on a boat with a billowing sail
Hear my song in the dark or sunshine
Oh love of mine, oh love of mine

If you return in the winter, when Michigan is dark and gray
You may find me hushed in my house all tucked away
But find where I am lying all fast asleep
Whisper a prayer to God, for my soul he shall keep
I shall hear your voice and my heart re-ignite
For you are my love, my soul, my heart and my light
