A Lady's Worth
Give me a penny worth of love
Its more than many ornaments could prove
Spare me a morsel of charity
Taste let me, thy sweet kiss seasoned into eternity
Save for me a single memorable smile
To carry me forever mile to mile
Look into my eyes and say 'i love you' with all bravery
Prove that thou art to my own usury
Adorn all grace, and me thy beloved, woo me
Yes! To the marraige of two souls shall we be
Release all thy passion, and upon me spend
Two flames will leap beyond mortals end
Be my breath, my light and my happiness
And thee, my love, forever shall i bless! !

Mystical kiss
I feel it all within your kiss
the love, the passion the imotional mist
kiss me like you have never kissed before
kiss me like you will never stop wanting more
Kiss me let me taste every tooth and tear
kiss me let me imbibe every pain and fear
I will never forget even if I tried
I will never get over it even if I cried
I will love you to death
I will spare my last breath
I will do it all for you
Kiss me now before you regret it tomorrow
Kiss me, let hapiness spread instead of sorrow
Kiss me, I will not close my eyes
I know it feels like a dream in paradise
I will never forget even if I tried
I will never get over it even if I cried
I will love you to death
I will spare my last breath
I will do it all for you
kiss me and enjoy every second we spend
kiss me before this dream comes to an end
kiss me don’t hesitate or think of consequence
kiss me it will be over soon a memory nothing else
Kiss me and magically drive me insane
kiss me before we wake up once again

Worth Every Mile
Written by Travis Tritt
The roads that we've traveled
Ain't always been easy
Lord knows we've both seen our share
Of troubles and trials
It's hard to believe
We made it so far together
But just between you and me darling
It was worth every mile
Chorus:
It was worth every storm
We had to weather
It was worth all the evenings
We cried together
When the going got toughest
I could count on your smile
And looking back now I can say
It was worth every mile
I know you and I both had our doubts
That we'd make it
But deep in the back of our minds
We knew all along
That love's not for quitters
So we kept ours moving
Oh and I think you'll have to agree
It was worth every mile
Chorus
And looking back now I can say
It was worth every mile

Precious In My Eyes
I often write funny things
about my wife and friends,
but I would never hurt or slander them,
they are too precious in my eyes.
Help I will give them,
but hurt never crosses my mind,
they are too valuable to ever sacrifice.
I never like seeing anyone feeling down,
that sort of misery only causes a frown.
Love for everyone is what we need to give.
The old saying has it right
when it says live and let live.
Hearts will always flourish
under a laugh and a smile.
A blown kiss can travel mile after mile.
A hug for someone
can often save the day,
and a prayer can help
to chase the fear away.
So as I look around
at all those I cherish most
I would feel so upset
if I thought I hurt any of them.
I only joke about with
the ones I love the most.
It was just my way when I say something simple
like I love you most of all.

Cacophony
We all have desires, wishes
Things that sometimes keep us running
If we try to ignore these then we live only
According to logic. We try to rule out what
Is known as passion. But why?
Why would anyone try to live a life that is...
Passionless? Well, it is hard to prove that it
Exist, especially if you wish to have it and
Another doesn't acknowledge it. I would like
To recommend living everyday to the fullest
With passion.
Without passion artists would never have created
Such splendid works, created such lyrics, wrote such
Books that takes us all so far away from where we are
Passion allows us to live another life. In fact, it may
Just happen to take over one's life.
That is why so many live passionless. They fear that
It will take over all logic-it doesn't. It only makes
Life more splendid. Love without passion
Is not love at all. It is easy to remember and give a call
To your beloved. Sing them a lovely tune-
If that is how love makes you feel.
Silly. Very silly, but all in the name of passion.
The second you first fall in love is an important event.
It is not something that is to pass fast and go all spent.
But rather so passionate that one must remember to
Save and cherish this passion and keep the flames from
Burning out. Alpha and omega; forever and ever.
To save the love from beginning to end:
One just must remember to not let
The words change into only words.
Or favors turn into mutual agreements.
Because in passion all things are done in love
'Without any if and or buts about it! '
So live life passionately with all the love you can offer
If you feel you haven't any to offer, that is not so
It is an easy thing to do, just give the next person that walks by
A big smile, and there is no telling just why, but
Simply because you live a llife full of passion. A word that is
Hard to define, but when experienced and expressed
It is easy to understand.
When looking for love, stop. don't search. It is looking for you.
Let the cacophony continue until it's sound and love has you found.

He Gave Me No Meat
My brother, I am hungry,—give me food
Such as my Father gives me at his board;
He has for many years been to thee good,
Thou canst a morsel then to me afford;
I do not ask of thee a grain of that
Thou offerest when I call on thee for bread;
This is not of the wine nor olive fat,
But those who eat of this like thee are dead;
I ask the love the Father has for thee,
That thou should'st give it back to me again;
This shall my soul from pangs of hunger free,
And on my parched spirit fall like rain;
Then thou wilt prove a brother to my need,
For in the cross of Christ thou too canst bleed.

Love You Forever
I love you this year
Ill love you next year
And than forever
Ill always need you
Ill never leave you
Ill love you forever
And if you ever change your mind
Think again and give me time
For youre my first love
You are my last love
Youre my forever
I love this feeling
My heart is beating
A mile a minute
No other woman
Has ever been
So deep inside in it
And when the sun shines on our love
Thats when I thank the lord above
Youre my first love
You are my last love
Youre my beginning
And when the sun shines on our love
Thats when I thank the lord above
Youre my first love
You are my last love
You are my everlasting love
Youre my first love
You are my last love
Youre my forever

The Sacred And Profane
give me tears
give me love
let me rest
let up on
send the bored
your restless
the feedback-scarred
devotionless
you're all a part of me now
and if i fall
you're all a part of me now
in the sun
you're all a part of me now
you're all a part of me now
will love ever be enough
just in time to prove
will words ever be enough
just in time to lose
give me signs
that arrest
it could snow
and happiness
give me time
give me peace
and i will prove
my release
you're all a part of me now
and if i fall
you're all a part of me now
in the sun
you're all a part of me now
you're all a part of me now
will love ever be enough
just in time to prove
will time ever be enough
will love ever be enough
you're all a part of me now
and if i fall
you're all a part of me now
in the sun
you're all a part of me now
you're all a part of me now
you're all a part of me now
and if i fall
you're all a part of me now
in the sun
you're all a part of me now

will love ever be enough

The Power Of God's Love
Love Is Forever Ever-lasting,
Even when we ask God's love,
Love shall forever live for eternity.
Love is Forever Ever-growing,
Even when we growing old,
Love will Grow up within us.
Love is Forever Ever-powerful,
Even when everything else Fails,
Love will push us forward.
Love is Forever Ever-merciful,
Even when we fall into temptation,
Unconditional God's love shall forgive us.
Love is Forever Ever-kindhearted,
Whenever we're down and struggle for life.
God's Love will enlightened us.
Love is forever Helpful and Consoling us,
But Above All Else,
LOVE Always remain within us.
Love of God shall forever

Sonnet 39: O, how thy worth with manners may I sing
O, how thy worth with manners may I sing,
When thou art all the better part of me?
What can mine own praise to mine own self bring?
And what is't but mine own when I praise thee?
Even for this let us divided live,
And our dear love lose name of single one,
That by this separation I may give
That due to thee which thou deserv'st alone.
O, absence what a torment wouldst thou prove,
Were it not thy sour leisure gave sweet leave
To entertain the time with thoughts of love,
Which time and thoughts so sweetly doth deceive,
And that thou teachest how to make one twain
By praising him here who doth hence remain!

Our Sweet Love
I thought about a summer day
And how the time just floats away
Pretty things like incense and flowers
I wanna make them part of
Our sweet love
Could last forever
(our sweet love)
Our sweet love
Could last forever
I thought about a winter night
And how Id like to hold you tight
Candlelight the warmth of a fire
We could make them part of
Our sweet love
Honey its heaven
(our sweet love)
Our sweet love
Could last forever
Sweet love sweet love
Like a child with his new toy
My heart is filled with joy for
Our sweet love
Honey its heaven
(our sweet love)
Our sweet love
Lord knows I love her so
I feel it down inside my soul
A precious love like this can flower
Theres nothing in this world like
Our sweet love
Should last forever
(our sweet love)
Our sweet love
Could last forever
Our sweet love
Could last forever
Our sweet love
Could last forever
(our sweet love)

Unable to Compare
I love you, I love you, I love you
i can say these words throughout my life
to the very moment that i die
and yet it still wont compare
to the love that i shared
with only you, my love
I love you, I love you, I love you
i say these words all the time
i say these words through rhyme
still you wont be able to comprehend
how much i love you through time and time again
i love you, my love
I love you, I love you, I love you
if i must i will die
saying these words for the last time
to prove to you
that my love was very true
i lived through my love of you
I love you, I love you, I love you
now im saying them in eternity
waiting for you to finally join me
to re-spend our lives and love together
to re-prove our love for one another
throught eternity my love for you is still here
I love you, I love you, I love you
i say these word so many times
i say them each day with or without rhyme
and still knowing that you dont know
theres no other way i can show
my love for you

The Sweetness
As I taste the sweet honey it envelopes my soul.
I frolic through the fields in bliss now knowing that all will be well now.
I have found my rose among the ruble.
We embrace feeling and feeding eachothers souls, minds, and bodies.
We are renewed in eachothers passion.
Is this what I searched for,
for what must have been an eternity?
I tremble as we come together.
Do I dare give all myself forever?
Can I truly be all that you need?
I love and hunger for you.
You are all that is right in the world.
Divine beauty personified.
Hesitation, a single tear.
You stare into my eyes.
I know once again that all will be well.
I take you and it is bliss.
To let go now would be remiss.
Take me, take me.
Never let go again.

True Love Lasts Forever!
True love's first endeavour
Is of course just to release me,
Yet it's not meant to appease me,
But to lead to the light
And to do what proves right - expertly!
True love's oh so clever!
There's no way you can impress it,
Smudge it, cloak it and repress it!
True love knows from the start,
Thus, with grace to impart, alert me!
God grant true love
To all who have strayed like me!
To all who have prayed like me!
For when light's shone, faith's built upon!
True love's great endeavour
Turns you into a new thinker!
From your eyes it takes each blinker!
Then it shares thoughts so new,
Introducing you to your Saviour!
God grant true love
To all who have strayed like me!
To all who have prayed like me!
For when light's shone, faith's built upon!
True love lasts forever, forever, forever!
True love lasts forever, forever, forever!
Forever and ever!

The Luckiest Man On Earth!
If I were the luckiest man, the luckiest man on Earth,
Then I would marry Cathy and I would prove my worth!
I'd kiss her in the morning and in the afternoon!
I'd kiss her in the evening, like on our honeymoon!
I'd kiss her in the sunshine! I'd kiss her in the shade!
I'd kiss her in the moonlight, as daylight starts to fade!
I'd kiss her on a Sunday I think the most of all!
Yet save my lips for Monday, my love to reinstall!
I can't help kissing Cathy 'cos my love's oh so strong!
I guess if I were twice the man, I'd kiss her all day long!
So, please pucker up, my pretty! Let's kiss our whole lives through!
God bless my cute celebrity, 'cos Cathy... I LOVE YOU!

The Soul That Loves God Finds Him Everywhere
O thou, by long experience tried,
Near whom no grief can long abide;
My love! how full of sweet content
I pass my years of banishment!
All scenes alike engaging prove
To souls impressed with sacred love
Where'er they dwell, they dwell in thee;
In heaven, in earth, or on the sea.
To me remains nor place nor time;
My country is in every clime;
I can be calm and free from care
On any shore, since God is there.
While place we seek, or place we shun,
The soul finds happiness in none;
But, with a God to guide our way,
'Tis equal joy to go or stay.
Could I be cast where thou art not,
That were indeed a dreadful lot;
But regions none remote I call,
Secure of finding God in all.
My country, Lord, art thou alone;
Nor other can I claim or own;
The point where all my wishes meet;
My law, my love, life's only sweet!
I hold by nothing here below;
Appoint my journey and I go;
Though pierced by scorn, oppressed by pride,
I feel thee good--feel nought beside.
No frowns of men can hurtful prove
To souls on fire with heavenly love;
Though men and devils both condemn,
No gloomy days arise from them.
Ah, then! to his embrace repair;
My soul, thou art no stranger there;
There love divine shall be thy guard,
And peace and safety thy reward.

Object of My First Desire
Object of my first desire,-
Jesus, crucified for me;-
All to happiness aspire,
Only to be found in Thee;
Thee to praise, and Thee to know,
Constitute our bliss below;
Thee to see, and Thee to love,
Constitute our bliss above.
Lord it is not life to live,
If Thy presence Thou deny;
Lord, if Thou Thy presence give,
'Tis no longer death - to die.
Source and Giver of repose,
Singly from Thy smile it flows;
Peace and happiness are Thine,
Mine they are, if Thou art mine.
While I feel Thy love to me,
Every object teems with joy;
Here, O may I walk with Thee,
Then into Thy presence die.
Let me but Thyself possess -
Total sum of happiness -
Real bliss I then shall prove,
Heaven below and heaven above.

Declaration Of Faith
This man you love, this boy you hate
The hills are his in all embrace
Enchanted and not soon lost
This man you call with lovers draw
So coarse in kind it cant be sought
For leaving is what I do
I declare myself
Declare myself of faith
I declare myself
Declare myself of faith
Ever wonder why they kill the weak ones, baby
Theres no one here to care
Someone always thought a good reason, baby
Just why were really here
Affirm my power to spend my dollars, to get us home, yeah
Ive got no money, got no secrets
Maybe we were born to kiss another
Maybe we were born to run forever
Or maybe we were born to come together, or whatever
Kiss me alone
This boy you chance, this man youll find
Will dry the tears behind your eyes
So stop laughing and play the muse
This heartache rots that which spills
From my heart into your will
So give in to the rivers wind
I declare myself
Declare myself of faith
I declare myself
Declare myself of faith
Every wonder why they kill the weak ones, baby
So they can to testify
For every single ghost on that freeway, baby
Has got to give a mild holler to spend my dollars
Weve got to get away
Ive got no money, got no secrets
Maybe we were born to love each other
Maybe we were born to run forever
Or maybe we were born to come together, or whatever
Kiss me alone
Kiss me alone
Kiss me alone
Kiss me alone
Maybe we were born to love
Maybe we were born to love
Maybe we were born to love
Maybe we were born to love each other
Kiss me alone
Kiss me alone
Kiss me alone
Kiss me alone
Maybe we were born to love
Maybe we were born to love
Maybe we were born to love each other

Sonnet XXVI: Mid-Rapture
Thou lovely and beloved, thou my love;
Whose kiss seems still the first; whose summoning eyes,
Even now, as for our love-world's new sunrise,
Shed very dawn; whose voice, attuned above
All modulation of the deep-bowered dove,
Is like a hand laid softly on the soul;
Whose hand is like a sweet voice to control
Those worn tired brows it hath the keeping of:—
What word can answer to thy word,—what gaze
To thine, which now absorbs within its sphere
My worshipping face, till I am mirrored there
Light-circled in a heaven of deep-drawn rays?
What clasp, what kiss mine inmost heart can prove,
O lovely and beloved, O my love?
