For My Love 1 (Poem)

For My Love 1

True love answers true love for love answers love

And we have chosen each other out of true love

Just as God moulded me fro you He created you for me

And since love is reciprocal, I am for you and you are for me

Amongst all the lovely, angelic girls in the world it is you

I have chosen; for my heart is an empty page without you

Nothing! Not even an axe can break the bond of our love

Not even jealousy nor distance and death can break this love

The clock ticks twenty and four hours everyday, from day to day

And I remember you from hour to hour, at least twenty four hours a day

Each time you rise from my heart through my soul to my brain

And I work harder for our family, you and I without a tiring brain

My dearest Onion, you are married to the one

You love and shall love forever, one is to one

You have chosen a young man

To love and admire and I am the man

You shall caress, feed, love, play with, and admire

You shall pray for, support, work by, and inspire

You shall protect, preserve, remember, and love tirelessly

Just as I do all for you and shall do all for tirelessly

So too, each time you think about me

You should smile and brighten up for me

Because I love you so much, so much

You should arise and shine like the sun so much and so much

Because it is you I admire, you and only you

You must double your efforts in your studies, I mean you

Because our future hangs on our shoulders

You must read as wide as an author’s wife for this is on your shoulders

You must study like someone in an intellectual competition

Because your husband, the sage, is always in a competition

You must take good care your body, our body

Because my heart, your heart, lives in that body, our body

You must remain humble, honest, obedient and beautiful

Because for such reasons I adore you and you are beautiful

You must remain glad, joyful, hard working and hopeful in this life

Because you are my onliest Shallote, the onliest Onion of my life.

When love answers YES

When love answers PRESENT

When love answers LOVE

Life becomes a life of no END

Only a life of love and for LOVE
