it is not because of <br />the promise of heaven <br />i pour out my love to you <br />not because the priest <br />or that mom or dad <br />have told me to <br />or because of hell <br />i dont play the fear game <br />it would turn me bad <br />it is just that my IQ <br />tells me you, my dearest you <br />have been guiding me all the way <br />despite my ignorance, defiance, <br />in your eyes i must have been <br />what a rat is to me <br />your love, care and patience <br />with this little nerd has worked <br />sorry for my ignorance thus far <br />my heart is now afired with <br />the desire to get to you, know, love you <br />i have found my peace in you <br />i found that you are the peace in me <br />and that peace overflows <br />when i switch my heart to you <br />in times of need <br />it is nice to know that <br />you show your love through deeds <br />because that's all i need <br />some long to see you all the day <br />but i know you are closer to me <br />more than i would ever know <br />i live day by day in your grace <br />taking the wind as your affection - for me <br />the rain as your tears - for me - your slow evolving creature <br />the thunder as your warning for my wrongs <br />and all things, living or not as part of your manifestations <br />those that i am still ignorant of <br />i beg your pardon to let me know<br /><br />john tiong chunghoo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/god-i-love-you-because/
