A Lover’s Prayer

                                  

A Lover’s Prayer

May your soul never surrender 

And your fire be a flame

May your tenor remain tender

And your temperament be tame 

May your nerve never waiver 

And your mood be content

May your heart always savor 

And your dreams all be dreamt

May your zest always prevail

And your tale be worth telling

May your vigor be unveiled

And your beauty overwhelming

May your courage be contagious 

And your intellect acute

May your vitality be vivacious 

And your reason absolute

May your world be astounding

And your ardor surprise

May your blessings be abounding

And your children all thrive

May your spirit be soaring

And your nature engage

May your essence be outpouring

And your willpower rage

May your verve be victorious 

And your resolve resolute

May your humor be contagious 

And your wit always astute

May your rapture be enduring

And your passion ever vernal 

May your bond be insuring

And your enchantment eternal

May your kisses all be savoring 

And your embraces be sublime 

May your devotion be unwavering 

And your love always be mine
