I love you like a river running free
Your love taking me to places unseen
Knowing that we have a strength between
Through valleys, rocky crags flowing to sea.
I love you as a young woman pining
The comfort of safe home wrapped up in you
Discerning what is rightly good and true
For first love, pricking the heart divining.
I love you as an old woman recalls
Time and age have replaced with constancy
Tender moments and whatever befalls.
I love you today and eternity
As time is but a vapor, together
We love each other, that is certainty.
