.
Empty handed, I came
Except of a heart
Full of love
and a soul full of awe
Empty handed, I shall leave
Except of a heart
Full of love
and a soul full of awe
If you ever wondered who I am
If you’re curious to know
If you want to remember me
With anything, after my departure
Two words
I LOVE
I love my children, a bequest from above
A peek into Heaven, and a love pure, Divine
I love my grandchildren, a whiff of angels, a taste of paradise
Hope they imbue, trust they sow and joy they enshrine
I love my mum, my flowery tiara, my song of praise
Her life she gives with glee, her heart tears for every passer by
I love my father, my crown, my honour, my wreath of fame
In humble gratitude, gracious blessings, my head bows down
I love my siblings every single one of them
Afar in their bodies, in my soul, ever so near, intertwined
I love my friends and kin
Those who are nigh and those who are far
Meadows of wildflowers, sway around my soul
I love you, and you and you and him and her
I love you all with all my heart, with all my soul
Every child gaping in awe
Every baby who saw the light and every one who’s not yet born
I Love
Every wrinkled face, carved with pain
Eyes shimmering with hope, soul filled with grace
Arms tender secure, what a holy embrace
I Love
Every father grinding his whole
To see his lovelies giggling with joy
A burning candle to brighten the way
Dispel all horror, secure the home
I Love
Every mother enduring agony
Sleepless nights, growing fears, flowing tears
No strings attached, no hidden agenda
Just love so pure, unconditional, perfect, sublime
I Love
I love the rustling of leaves, whispers of children, singing of nightingales
I love the crashing of waves on the seashore
I love the scent of jasmine blooming, and roses rambling on a wall
I love the aroma of grandma’s bread, fresh out of her taboon
I love colours of the rainbow
Blazing red, burning orange
Bursting yellow, refreshing green
Enchanting violet, magical indigo, and calming blue
I love animals, I love fish, I love birds and butterflies
I love leaves and coral reefs and dreamy skies
I love grass, I love rivers and oceans azures
I love pebbles, I love cobbles and brave stones
I love mountains, rocky hills and sandy shores
I love raindrops, snowflakes, and misty due
I love trees and flowers, all shapes and hues
I love the World
With all what it contains
With all my heart and all my soul
Every swimming star, twirling galaxy and dazzling blackhole
Every dancing atom, every praying particle, every spinning positron
Above all and most of all
I love the One and Only
Majestic beyond words
Compassionate beyond dreams
Infinite Beyond the grasp of minds
Whose love embraces all
If my heart would have a hole
My love would leak and fill a pail
The pail would flow and fill a stream
The stream would flood and fill a river
The river would deluge and fill an ocean
The ocean would expand and overflow
Earth would gush and drench the universe
Beneath the Throne of the One Most Loving, Most High
