Went for a walk on the beach, gathering <br />things left by the sea, the sea is my friend, <br />I share my thoughts with him, today I sang <br />as I walked, singing of love while your <br />words played in my mind <br /> <br />‘Tell me why - the sun doth shine... then I will <br />tell you - just why I love you..... because God <br />made - the sun to shine... because God made <br />you - that’s why I - love you...’ though that is <br />not strictly true - I love you because <br /> <br />You make me resonate to the essence of your <br />being, your facets and depths fascinate me, I <br />love the mysterious depths of your soul, the <br />way your eyes light up and your lips curl <br />as you smile <br /> <br />I love you because of the things that you do when <br />you can’t stop yourself – THAT is the way God <br />made you, you say... ‘because God made you, <br />that’s why I love you! ’ <br /> <br /> <br />Song we sang at school: <br /> <br />Tell me why - the sun doth shine, <br />tell me why - the ivy twine, <br />tell me why - the sky’s so blue, <br />then I will tell you - just why I - love you, <br />because God made - the sun to shine, <br />because God made - the ivy twine, <br />because God made - the sky so blue, <br />because God made you, <br />that’s why I - love you.<br /><br />Louise Tredoux<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-i-love-you-27/
