To Love But Not
Possess
O how I have loved thee,
My heart has known no
bounds,
And O how I would take and keep thee,
That we might both be
one.
But how much do I really love thee?
Enough to do what's best for
you?
For in our present roles, I feel
Embracing would not be the right
thing now to do.
O, how I would shun the thought!
But no matter what
the pain,
My love is great enough to bear,
Or else it would not be for
your best gain.
And after all, you are not mine,
So now as in life's
garden I do roam,
I see you as a flower fair
And praise God for His beauty
everywhere.
