Lord this boy is bright
as a ten-watt lightbulb
well, he needs some home-schooling
to properly integrate himself
into our society
Lord, don't send this boy to hell
take the gun out of his hands
please give this boy a chance
Oh Lord, don't let him drink
from the poison well
just because he wants to be a man

with
all of my heart

want to
serve and follow
the
will of God
to cleanse thy heart and soul
who
brings me joy
and
delivers
me
a perfect peace

Let our hearts know
what our hands shall do
and I know for sure
to embrace you more  
yet to touch your tender soul
Forevermore and nothing less
Oh, what young lovers
must do as I confess
thus to seal our faith
with serendipity and grace
enchanted with
red blue and green light
with a bit of indigo
in between them
so much so
thus to find
a quiet place to
for our love to flourish so
that we embrace
this sacred moment more
with a gentle kiss
upon your sweet lips
and surely to know
anywhere the heart must go

you shall not
erase me
nor

our
