To my love...this I promise you...

I Shall Love Thee

I shall love thee,

As I love the air that I breathe

I shall love thee,

As I love the sun that shines on me

I shall love thee,

As I love the trees that shade me

I shall love thee,

As I love the wind that gently cools me

I shall love thee,

As I love the fire that warms me

I shall love thee,

As I love the Earth which gives us life

I shall love thee,

As I love the soul which is your essence

I shall love thee,

As I love your touch upon my skin

I shall love thee,

As I love your kiss upon my lips

I shall love thee,

As I love the one who blessed me with you

I shall love thee,

From beyond death's cold grasp

I shall love thee,

Through all my lives on this Earth

I shall love thee,

As you deserve to be loved

I shall love thee,

For forever and a day
