I Give You My Love

I give you my love

I give you my heart

I give you my hope

I give you with joy

     from the coffers of my precious time the rest of the days of my life;

To delight in your body

To nourish your mind

To be at home with your spirit

     the way a star is at home in the sky;

To celebrate you with joy

     the way the sun emblazons the seas with its light;

To console you in sorrow

To wrap my heart around yours like a blanket

Until we both shall grow old and the sight falls from our eyes

 and our being

      falls from life to light;

I choose to go with you always

From this day until the end of our days

As your adoring soul mate.
