A lover's blessing

May your love chase away the gloom,

Afterall, life is supposed to be good, isn’t it?

May your light illuminate the room.

_____________________________

May you trust yourself, so that you bloom,

You need your strength now, so that you are fit,

May your love chase away the gloom.

_____________________________

May you stop longing for your tomb,

Life if worth it, please do not quit,

May your light illuminate the room.

_________________________

May you stop only seeing the doom,

Instead, look, wonder at nature, at spirit,

May your love chase away the gloom.

__________________________

May you one day be my groom,

Indeed, for you, that is what is writ,

May your light illuminate the room.

________________________

May you understand our love will resume,

Take this time to find your merit,

May your love, always chase away the gloom,

May your light, always illuminate the room.
