Sonnet

love is patient or so they say
but my heart races, anyway
and love is kind, that’s nothing new
‘cause my heart is safe inside of you

all the ways we find to be patient and kind
through the darkness, through the light
through the day, through the night

how i love thee, i’ll count the ways
while my heart beats ten thousand days
so deep and wide, my soul will find
that our hearts beat in perfect time

this familiar phrase, said so many ways
through the darkness, through the light
through the day, through the night

all the ways we find to be patient and kind
through the darkness, through the light
through the day, through the night

love me tender, and love me true
my heart is beating just for you
