(Melody Of Love)

Why do I love you?
I love you not only for what you are
But for what I am when I'm with you.

I love you not only for what you've made of yourself
But for what you're making of me
I love you for ignoring the possibilities of the fool in me
And for laying firm hold of the possibilities for good in me.

Why do I love you?
I love you for closing your eyes to the discords
And for adding to the music in me by worshipful listening.

I love you because you're helping to make of the lumber of my life
Not a tavern, but a temple
And out of the words of my everyday
Not a reproach, but a song.

I love you because you have done more
T
han any creed to make me happy
You have done it without a word, without a touch, without a sign
You have done it just by being yourself.

And after all, perhaps that's what love means.
