Your Sweet Kisses Consoled
Time after time your sweet kisses consoled
When my desperate heart cried out in fear,
My dear, it was you who were brave and bold
While I was so convinced the end was near.
With your closeness, your warmest embracing
Gave hope during fearful anxiety,
My heart would be at breakneck speed racing
While you maintained the right propriety.
You were constantly my inner presence
When the hurt overwhelmed my self-esteem
Maintaining for me essential essence
You were always there--my balancing beam.
Your love cannot be more expressed, extolled,
Time after time your sweet kisses consoled.
