Beloved

I am thinking of you so far away

With love my thoughts are filled

So much I need you today

A yearning I want fulfilled

When did I first realise

That I was so in love?

For you are such a precious prize

A gift from God above

I try to think of that moment

When you took my heart

When I knew that we were meant

Never to be apart

I cannot think just when it was

I no longer would be the same

Completely changed now because

My roving heart you did tame

I cannot bear to be away

From your loving ways

By your side I want to stay

All my remaining days
