A gift of song from Stan
ForeverBound
Written for the love of his life
Before you came, the world was still unwritten, A silent hall where echoes found no home, Then love arrived like dawn — the earth was smitten, And I who wandered, never more shall roam.
You are the love of my life, my one true devotion, The grace that has given my searching a name, A boundless and beautiful, fathomless ocean, And I am the shore that shall cherish your flame.
Each year that turns like pages of a sonnet, Reveals a deeper beauty than before, Your soul, a crown with heaven's starlight on it, Has made of me a man worth living for.
You are the love of my life, my one true devotion, The grace that has given my searching a name, A boundless and beautiful, fathomless ocean, And I am the shore that shall cherish your flame.
Through time's long passage, through all joy and sorrow, In every season, every sacred breath, I give you all my yesterdays and morrows, A love that reaches far beyond all death.
You are the love of my life, my one true devotion, The grace that has given my searching a name, A boundless and beautiful, fathomless ocean, And I am the shore that shall cherish your flame.
