Love

ODE TO MARK ~ BY CATHY O’BRIEN 1989

Your love strengthens me
in the gentlest of ways,
Lighting my life
through the darkest of days
Lifting fog from my mind
and parting the haze
…You bring soul to my life…

Your love strengthens me
when you gaze in my eyes
Lighting my life
with truth that applies
Lifting my spirits
with words that are wise
… You bring life to my soul…

Your love strengthens me
when you hold me at night
Lighting my life
with your inner-chi light
With physical pleasures sure to delight
…Breathing life deep into my soul…

With all that I am
now that I’m free
All that I’ve been
and strive yet to be
I give freely to you
all that is me
…Straight from the strength of my soul…
