To My Girlfriend on Valentine's Day

Ahh Valentine's Day is here,

the florists will bustle,

the suitors will scheme,

especially, purposefully,

to make themselves clean

 

the worry, the fear, rejection, heart's seared,,

the conquest, the prize, the look in her eyes,

the candies and rings, and many shiny things,

leave them all wanting, with no stability near

 

I have a romance, too big for this day,

throughout, every moment, never to sway,

that is the romance that I will tell you about,

I long for you, pursue you, do not have a doubt

 

My eyes are set, on the bride I want

I see her, I lead her, I long, to her, flaunt,

She comes down the aisle, ragged dress, beaten, free

When I look into her heart, it's my Son that I see.

 

So because of that one thing

I will never her leave.

I put him there, I sustain

a good work, I will complete.

 

The day I marry her, the inside will be

adorning the bride, her anguish relieved

I will never, not ever, because of her dress,

abandon her, leave her, because she's a mess

 

So until that day comes, I will tell you this tale,

of my bride who I love, who I will never fail

In the storms, she may hide

in the boats deepest space

but I will walk on water and through glass,

to be by her side.
