Bathe Me With Your Love

Come and bathe me with your love Shower me with your kisses And rub me with the balm of your touch. Shampoo my hair with the oil of your generous kindness Pour into my aching body the blessings of God's grace. Hold me closely to hear your whispers in the running water Hold me tightly to your bosom as if this is our last romance. Come and bathe me with your love Caress me with your gentle arms And let me feel the beating of your heart. Hold me closely to ward off the eternity of absence and let us celebrate these unending yet mortal moments in the bath of our love. ______
