I Love You Like Only Gode Knows

I Love You Like Only God Knows

Mary I love you like only God knows and I pray our days

Be made of gold and rose like when the Weaver of Destiny lays

The wheat over the meadows and the thorny flower fills

With the fragrant power bred of clear waters from rocky hills,

When He takes threads of Sun from the Spring day dawn

And spins them on earth shapes until the hearty rose is spun.

Mary your love for me when we hold hands and speak

Is clear in your eyes and there is such gentle power that I

Love your blessed smile, so please stay with me forever.

For there is no earthly power that can separate my kiss

From your silky hands, from your lovely spirit and I seek

To make you happy, to find the place where your laughter

Will fill many hours and night will be clear as day for us.

Come, princess of delight, Madonna of the Eastern star,

Be never far from my joy, be as one with me for I love you

More than I can ever say in mere words and so I ask heaven

To send a messenger through the stars and the moon and sun.

Let light come from the heart of God and let it be within one

Being composed of you and me; yes, let Love be our song.

We praise the Creator of all things beautiful like children who

Run in the warm days of youth seeking fun and come night,

We seek a bit of rest and embrace the baby moon whose face

Is pillowed in clouds as we dream of deeds of joy and then,

If we be raised by the pillars of love we touch the Sun again.
