    "Far Above The Cost Of Love"

     

    far above the cost of love

    I am paying dues

    my heart is lost at sea

    a sea of love for you

     

    they say Jesus walked on water

    and I believe it’s true

    all my hopes went way on down

    a sea of tears for you

     

    I knew I’d found my rainbow’s end

    where visions meet the skies

    my horizons all get lost

    inside your shining eyes

     

    sweet memories behind us

    in now way can compare

    to the loneliness

    the heartaches

    the long moments of despair

     

    Jesus walked on water

    to help His friends pull through

    my heart would walk an ocean

    for one more glance from you

     

    my horizons get so lost

    within your loving eyes

    my heart would crawl the stormy seas

    for one last chance with you.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
