I look at you with child like wonder Beholding beauty and I ponder Is this just lust for whom is yonder? Is my heart true and my soul fonder? You are beautiful outwardly And even more that I can see Your inner good and purity With you I'd spend eternity The blazing beauty of your face. Lights every dim and dreary place. A feeling that I must embrace. A feeling fine, like fancy lace. I know that you are very bright A very radiant kind of light Surrounds you whether day or night You have a second, deeper sight You have a caring, tender heart A loving soul and for your part Give to others from the start. A way from darkness, you can chart. Your intelligence does far exceed The average persons average need And for you, naught can impead Your souls desire to succeed Determination, that I admire. Your cleverness sets me afire I do not want a pet or liar My need for you is truly dire I'd give anything to be more near. To you, my most beloved, dear. But what it is that I do fear, As sometimes I do shed a tear. That you and I must never be. It would not be good for thee. I am old, your twenty-three And death will surely come for me. And so for you, that I wish too, I pray you'll find, one who loves you And holds, as I, a love that's true. And some day say to you "I do."

My Most Beloved
I look at you with child like wonder Beholding beauty and I ponder Is this just lust for whom is yonder? Is my heart true and my soul fonder? You are beautiful outwardly And even more that I can see Your inner good and purity With you I'd spend eternity The blazing beauty of your face. Lights every dim and dreary place. A feeling that I must embrace. A feeling fine, like fancy lace. I know that you are very bright A very radiant kind of light Surrounds you whether day or night You have a second, deeper sight You have a caring, tender heart A loving soul and for your part Give to others from the start. A way from darkness, you can chart. Your intelligence does far exceed The average persons average need And for you, naught can impead Your souls desire to succeed Determination, that I admire.
