Want You Forever Poem by Patti Masterman

Want you forever, treasure from heaven,
Want you beside me, close to my heart;
To make of our days and nights; a wedding-
Make up for the hours, we've spent apart.

With you beside me, I'd never falter;
With your love inside me, would never halt;
You are the yoke, and you are the halter;
With you ever near, no pain could assault.

You the first song, of early still morning;
Of sunbeam's sure progress; you are the guide.
You the frail hope, in this soul's first dawning;
You are both moon, and the far reaching tide.

My tears on your face; my open eyes, wet:
Our body's as close, as two souls could get.
