Sweet Devotion
Staring into plastered wall
Looking far beyond the fall
There was a place, beyond the pay
where wonder lit up every day
A place in which fields of hope
led young couples to elope
And in the sky, faint but there
the stars smiled and warmed the air
This place I treasure in my heart
Hide in plain sight till I depart
But with another it is best shared;
I give to you reason to care
This paradise of my creation
Shall forever bond us loving nation
Though mortal coils may fade and rust
Keep faith and love; stay strong and just
Consider what is truly worth
and every time you close your eyes
Until the day of your final rise
Heaven is together, upon this earth
