I Love You

I love you asawa-ko, like flowers love the life-bringing rain,
I love you from the bottom of my heart to the top of my brain.
If you ever left me I know that I would go completley insane!
I love you so much it is really impossible to even explain...

But let me try!  You know how the water bubbles up from springs?
I love you like the water escaping from the ground gurgles and sings.
I love you like the mother bird loves her babies trying out new wings!
I love you as the depths of the great ancient forests hid wondrous things.

My love for you is longer than the longest river, winding its way to the sea.
It is wider than the widest prairie, whose grasses can be as long as can be.
My love is deeper than the deepest ocean, deeper even than the Sea of Galilee
where our Savior once preached on her shores and died to save both you and me.

The busy honey bee buzzing amongst the flowers loves it no more than I love thee.
The laughing Hyenas laugh because they're happy in the savannah - but no more than me!
I am happy because I love you, that is what makes others think I have bats in my belfry.
But I am not mad, I am simply head over heels in love with you! It should be plain to see.

You are my rudder, my anchor, my chains keeping me always focused and attached to you.
I am so in love with you that every day, every minute, every second is like brand new.
Born again each beat of my heart, I breathe you in with every breath right on God's cue.
He put us together and set us on this path of true love, forever knowing just what to do.

Each time we make love, the whole world smiles without ever knowing the reason why.
If I could not have thee every portion of every day, I would simply dry up and die!
When we finally in rapture cease for a brief time, the whole Universe lets out a sigh.
The story of our lives, of our love, of our family, written in love on your perfect thigh.
