I love you as the waves love the cliffs,
That crash against them, yet never tire.
I love you as the wind loves the sails,
That fill them up and carry them higher.
I love you as the earth loves the rain,
That nourishes her and makes her grow again.

I love you as the sun loves the dawn,
That warms my soul and chases away the cold.
I love you as the moon loves the night,
That covers her with its light and makes her shine bright.
I love you as the stars love the sky,
That twinkle and dance and fill us with wonder and joy.

I love you as the sea loves the sand,
That caresses it and makes it sing.
I love you as the river loves the shore,
That flows around it and makes it whole.
I love you as the forest loves the trees,
That give it shade and shelter from the breeze.

I love you as the fire loves the flame,
That consumes it and yet makes it stronger still.
I love you as the heart loves the soul,
That beats within it and makes it whole.
I love you as life loves death,
That gives it meaning and makes it worth.
