My Love

How can something so strong, be described?
The expression of my love, I cannot find.
It comes sometimes like a mighty Sea.
It's powerful waves completely cover me.
Other times I find it comes as the Wind.
Afterwards I have to put things together again.
Often it comes as a kitten's soft feel,
creeping upon me quietly.
Sometimes I feel as though I can fly.
My love for you is like a bird in the Sky.
At times my love captures my mind,
then goes on it's way, leaving me behind.
Sometimes my love is like a child and a toy.
I have to be careful, I can't have every joy.
So many times have I tried to express,
the love that gives me happiness.
And every time I always find -
a feeling so strong can't be described.
