Why I love you

I love you for the kindness of your heart,

That loves on all its seeing eyes will land;

That gives just as the gentle winds impart

Soft seeds upon earth’s ever open hand.

Your love does not with cleverness define

What things are worthy to receive its worth,

But blesses surely as the sun will shine

On all that lives and breathes on this green earth.

On the days when sadness wraps your eyes,

I know that love is dozing in your mind;

Just as the clouds that cover up our skies

Can’t stop the sun from endless life behind. 

To love you is to love all that you do;

Through you I learnt to love this life anew.
