The Heart Tongue



You are the voice in my heart,
The  sun  of my night,
The shining  star of my day,
My coat of many colours.

Thy complexion  is  forever  golden,
Thy  eyes are  crystal  clear,
Thy  path  carries  the  fragrance  of   heaven,
My  gaze  to  behold.

Angels appreciate  thy combination,
Nature  is   proud  of  her  creature,
Eden  prepares  for  thy coming,
Ages  all   behold  you  in  it's  assembly.

Let  years  search  for  thy comparison  in  Torches,
For  thy  bosom  is  forever  with  thy  prince.
