It Is Not I... (An Ode To The Divine Nature Of True Love)
It is not I who is altering all before me;
It is not I who caused that I adore thee;
It is not I who makes this happen for us;
It is not I who sings solo, but a chorus;
It is not I who gave us this gift;
It is not I who causes your heart's uplift;
It is I, along with you, who are the vessels, with which God
Has chosen to uplift our extraordinary souls-this is a course we may only retard,
Not change entirely, no matter of nemesis-true love is the most powerful force
Of all and may not be reasoned with, -like a stubborn mule, refusing to change his course;
When the day is done, the only truth that remains is love, in all its forms, myriad-
So still you wonder if it is I who caused this love! ? Nay, it is Divinely Inspired, period!
God has chosen me, though I am not perfect, to gift to thee the life you truly deserve-
I am but obsequious to Him; He is my Lord and Savior, and He, I humbly serve!
