Man's Greatest Love
When I look back upon the years
Endless nights in love or lust
Cradled in a warm embrace
Made soft by familiarity and trust
When I consider the time we’ve spent
In black of night ‘till morning light
Wrapped selflessly in remembered hours
of fading stars from a thousand nights
When I measure the spending of myself
So utterly complete in you alone
Or gauge the depth of my surrender
Ripe from the longing that day has sown
When I reflect on time together
When my soul perishes expired
Into the wait that reaches up
and wraps me whole as I desired
Then I will sing of love profound
Where wont and longing wed
Where pure surrender is required
Oh how I love my good old bed!
