As long as men have eyes <br />There will be someone to adore you <br />For the beauty of your face is <br />like the setting sun as it kisses the water <br />on a warm summer night <br /> <br />As long as men have ears <br />There will be music in the world <br />For to hear your smiling voice is to <br />hear the skylarks sing <br />in the early morn of spring <br /> <br />As long as men have bodies <br />there will be longing for your touch <br />And aching need that borders lust <br />and rivals cool summer breezes <br />on a hot summer day <br /> <br />As long as men have hearts <br />There will be hearts broken <br />For you are sweet as sorrow <br />As you wear your beauty inside your heart <br />and not as a shallow mask for vanity's glory <br /> <br />As long as men have life <br />There will be a will to live <br />For to be in your presence is to bask <br />the light of heaven's grace on earth<br /><br />Gordon Merritt<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/as-long-as-men-have-eyes/
