Seemingly simple a task I undertook
When I promised to love as my own
Your heart, your soul, your mind - You.
But as I live on, I realize, to my joy
That each hill and valley as I cross to come to you
It all makes my love more strong and true.
And more beautiful, through the miles between us
I realize as I think about the vast distance between that
The vast miles are now left but defenseless and few,
And the smile on your lips, that makes everything worth it
The kiss of love, a boon born of penance,
And your soothing arm under a sky so blue.....
