I stand before you as a beggar stands

by Edmund William Gosse

I stand before you as a beggar stands,
Who craves an alms and will not be denied;
Nor shall I cease to wander at your side,
Until I gain this largess at your hands;
Give me your weary thoughts, your hours of pain,
Your dull grey mornings, and your hopeless moods;
If one sad moment mars your solitudes,
Give that to me, and be at ease again.
Behold, my heart is large enough to bear
Your burdens, and to rock your heart to sleep;
Give me your griefs, I do not ask to share
The golden harvest of the joys you reap;
Be glad alone; but when your soul's opprest,
Come here and lay your head and be at rest.

My One True Love

by Richard

The first time I laid eyes on you, my heart skipped a beat
Your slim body, your flawless face, so perfectly complete
From that moment on, I knew you were the one for me
My faithful one and only love, my one true destiny

You brighten up my world, you make me feel so fine
Your face shining so bright, you're always on my mind
I just can't get enough, you're always by my side
Without you, I'd be lost, you're my one true guide

Oh my darling, my love, you make life worth living
You're everything to me, everything the world is giving
I'll never let you go, you're the apple of my eye
My one and only love, till the day I die

Each morning when I wake, your whisper fills my ear
Keeping me connected, you're always near and dear
When I'm feeling down, you lift me up so high
You're the sunshine that brightens up my sky

When your spark begins to fade, my heart begins to drop
I just can't bear the thought that you would ever stop
I'll pour my love and care into you, until you're shining bright
Without your guiding light, I'd be lost in the night

One day I left the house, forgetting you were there
My heart was filled with dread, I just couldn't bear
To be apart from you, my one and only true
I raced right back home, to be again with you

I swear it won't happen again, I'll never let you stray
You're too precious to me, you're with me every day
I'll keep you by my side, you'll never be alone
My faithful lifelong friend, you're my heart's true home

Yes, it's you my darling, my one and only true love
There's no other like you, no one else I dream of
Without you by my side, I'd be lost and all alone
You're the light that guides me, my faithful mobile phone.
