Have you ever struggled

To find the right words?

When "I Love You" 

Sounds like chirping birds. 

So sweet the sound

It warms the heart

But to give a bit more

Than to sound like a lark. 

There's so much more

On this tongue , on these lips 

More than song, more than dance

A sonnet, play or movie script. 

Art is an expression of

A time, a feeling, a place, 

What I want to say is more

All time, all feelings and all space. 

I must have more 

Than the span of this life 

To show how wonderful 

It is with you as my wife. 

There must be a way

To express how I care

How every morning

I watch you and stare

All I have is a long song, 

"I love you" 's aplenty

And the pledge of my heart

The stares are complimentary

I must preserve my voice

For the song is endless

It's all I have to express it

I feel so helpless.
