Loves Sacrifice

Love Means More when life is hard
and choices lead to sacrifice,
and every passion has its price
in duties paid and windows barred.
though I have loved for many years,
Love is still for me a spring that will
from stone sweet fragrance bring,
and make a garden of our tears as
our fears fade and love grows,
Life has been hard but has also been my joy
as day by day I Moved mountains in my
way and through the gift of chance and faith
I claim my love for you today

Beautiful metaphors from nature, reminding me of Psalms, which I love. Wonderful voice.
