I Will Love You

I will love you until the oceans go dry That I swear I will, I will love you with every tear that I cry Or until my heart stands still. I will love when you are next to me And I will love you when you are not, Because of you, my soul's not free You are the love that I had desperately sought. I will love you with every poem that I write And every dream that I remember, And I will love you with every word that I recite As though Ignited by a fiery ember. I will love you with all of my memories Every night that I lay down to sleep, And I will remember all of the painted sceneries Of course, only the ones that God allows me to keep. I will love you when I am old and gray And even when my days are all numbered, Because of you and love I will always pray Even, if with pain I am encumbered. I will love you when God calls me home And there for you I will patiently wait, No more will my feet or my dreams again ever roam Because I will be waiting for you at the Pearly Gate. Randy L. McClave
