If Ever I Should Doubt My Love

If Ever I Should Doubt My Love

If ever I should doubt my love, I only

Need look to your eyes to find

Reason not to. It is your lovely

Nature for which I pined

When forced away from you,

Losing sight of the few

Joys of my life.

But it is not as for some

Who weigh the sum

Of their life’s esteem

In the reflected love

That seems to teem

Within the mirrored dove

Grey eyes of the one

Who loves them.

My love has no price;

It is unconditional;

It will not vanish in a trice

But will be there for all

To see from this day.

And if we are so blessed

And life is spared, we may

Pass each and every test

That comes our way.
