The greatest cargo I will ever carry is within my heart to give away, <\/span><\/p>\n

It is there for you my angel if only you would wake and look my way, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Once empty and cold the feelings of love were in dreams far away, <\/span><\/p>\n

From the darkness came the light from such an unexpected display, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Will you ever know the influence you’ve had on my heart and my mind, <\/span><\/p>\n

How can it be that in another’s room I would walk into my lifetime find, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You own the most precious cargo that I discovered but a month ago, <\/span><\/p>\n

In a series of dreams you were seen as someone I would never know, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Oh please don’t ever leave me until you have had time to learn more, <\/span><\/p>\n

The only love I have known is but a month in creation from before, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a dimension of love’s fortune I saw the girl of whom I have dreamed, <\/span><\/p>\n

When you came by to say hello to me did I stare for as long as it seemed, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tonight in my bed I will hold your image tightly and whisper in your ear,<\/span><\/p>\n

In a series of dreams I will find you in a rose garden and hold you dear, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

No man knows the boundaries of his will unless tested with true love, <\/span><\/p>\n

It’s a testimonial to free will given by God as he created all from above, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I give of my love willingly please be kind as it will only be given to you, <\/span><\/p>\n

Please don’t ever break my heart as I don’t know what I can live through, \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A month ago I still felt to be a boy until I walked into a star in the sky, <\/span><\/p>\n

And now that I know love I will never ask of its making or ask why, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today I am a man so deeply in love to remain such until the end of time, <\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve told you I’m in love with you many times but I’ll say it again in rhyme, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As you walk away through the door I feel I may cry just to see you go, <\/span><\/p>\n

Look into my eyes and listen, I am the greatest love you will ever know.<\/span><\/p>\n
