MY LOVE FOR THEE

By: Kenneth Ray Carmichael

The leaves on those sweet autumn trees change color with ease.
Yet, my love for thee is unlike those leaves on those autumn trees.
The weather changes amidst the seasons and in climate, by degrees.
But my love for thee is unchanging like ebb and flow of the seven seas.

The winds choose several directions as the day passes.
My love for thee is convicting like thunder when it crashes.
Even shooting stars race away and gleam as it dashes.
My love for thee isn't fleeting, yet, it burns forever- without ashes.

The sun rises and sets in regular patterns as a steady routine.
My love for thee is unpredictable and wild, yet calm and serene.
Days change to months, and years into lifetimes- so fast it seems.
Yet, my love for thee pours and endures and clings with no strings.
