My Love

You're to me what no one can be,

Why shall you not my love be?

Had I to choose between you and the moon,

I would select thee as my boon.

Even the fair moon has its dark spots,

But your beauty is the one that never rots.

Had I to choose between you and the Almighty,

In front of whom even the kings are tiny.

Deny I would the Creator and love his creature,

For you are the best part of his nature.

"Why are angels so famous?", I asked my heart,

"Foolish you", it replied. Your friend taught them Art.

"I am jealous of your friend", said the rose,

Looking at you even its lovely petals froze.

For the first time shall the loser be Time,

Even its effect will not dim your shine.

Proud I feel to have a friend like you,

None in the world has a smile like you.

You're to me what no one can be,

Why shall you not my love be?
