Love Divine

I know – it will be better for you not to do this,
But you want.
- I won’t object

I know – this path will lead you to the wrong,
But you have chosen it
- And I respect your choice.

I know – this pleasure will turn to pain for you,
Yet you’re not ready to reject…
I sigh, yet I again respect…

And I allow you everything you want,
For that’s your will, -
I place it higher, than my plan for you,
That you should know –
I Love You…

And for this Love to You I even sacrifice
Your Gratitude to me – for there will be
Hardly anything to thank for
When you see the fruit of what you’ve done.

I sacrifice – because I Love You…

But if you Love me too you’ll ask
If I approve your doing this
And you will hear My wish for you.

You’ll ask – where the path will lead,
And I’ll show you the way,
And you won’t choose it.

You’ll ask – how long this pleasure’ll last
And I will say – how short,
And you’ll reject.

And then you’ll ask
What I would like for you.
And I will tell you
And you will hear, and choose, and do…

For You Love Me…

And you will see
The value of this
Mutual Love…
