Could I Tell Her ?

  Could I Tell Her ?

Brimming with the wisdom,

Life has made me come to sound,

Should I venture into danger,

Or retire to safer higher ground ?

Devoid of heavens power,

All I feel is bound into my song,

Though I've known a joy to live,

Leaving her alone has felt so wrong.

Effigy around my head,

Has told me not to right a wrong,

For all the love within my heart,

Couldn't fix the bad deed done.

Life has furnished blessings,

To see me right and bequeathed a love,

So never could I fail to praise,

What was sent me from above.

Incredible the feeling grows,

When I have held her tender hands,

Walked with love and light beside,

Making journeys across fragile lands.

We have known contentment,

That was more sweet than anything,

How do I unveil my longing,

To be the one to wear her ring ?

Indeed time is passing,

Swifter than the seasons changing,

Every day holds out a purpose new,

For how my love she is engaging.

Reward is sweet unabiding,

And I flood with tears of joy,

So could I tell her boldly,

That her love I must employ ?
