My Plea Poem by Mahfooz Ali

Let me be your eyes
Then only beauty will you face
Flowers and butterflies will you see
Avoiding ugliness, misery and disgrace
You'll look with favour upon me

Let me be your ears
Listening to music and sweet bird song
Only hearing words that are true
Shielded from malice and things that are wrong
But they'll hear me say 'I love you too'

Let me be your lips
And a smile and a greeting will always be there
They'll speak words that are wise and true
Will never in anger shout or swear
But will say 'I love you too'

Let me be your heart
It will be full of love and grace
And will never pound in fear
It will beat at a steady pace
But for a flutter when I am near

Let me be your body
So beautiful, mature and firm
It would surrender as lovers do
And in fulfillment you would learn
That our love was really true.
