Analysis of The Chosen One



The chosen one

I choose you for all eternity
I love you as far as my eyes can see
The reasons to why are long and vast
My love for you is something that forever lasts
Though many mistakes have been made over time
Forgiveness is something that I can not hide
I gave you my heart a long time ago
The love I have I enjoy to show
You and the kids make my world complete
Your cooking dinner is something I love to eat
My love for you is something that never wanes
It grows stronger each and every day
Even though our bodies change with time
My love for you will never die
I choose you every second of every day
In my head before bed I always pray
That God will wake me the following morning
So I can spend another day with you in glory
I love everything, about you
Your laugh, your love, it’s something I can get used to.
I believe you are my soulmate, destined to be
Together in life and in eternity.
