Loving Thee

By: Rachael Howard

I ask thee to describe thy love so mysterious.
Thy words reply, "Thou art my one and only;
mine air that gives all the world life and breath.
Thou art the waters of the deep, so very pure;
it is thy sweet touch that cleanses me to the core.
Thou art mine nourishment and sustenance;
thy kiss is my meal and drink for days on end.
Thou art mine truest councelor, a trusted friend;
it is thee who holds the keys in thy hand.
And thou art the world in its entirety;
mine purpose and reason for staying alive.
And for all of these things I love thee."
