Returns on Love
See a twinkle in your eye.. let me sing you a lullaby
when you rest here in my arms taking comfort from life's harms
You are safe when with me, minds - bodies, mingling spiritually
Do you feel his guiding hand, leading you to a strange land?
Where angels and love abound, past and hurt are thrown down.
Fear cannot be where love is near.... only illusions do appear.
Seem they real or recognized false, is in your hands and do have costs...
Pay the tax on what is due, not past wages demanded of you.
For surely if you pay the past, the employment of such labor will last.
Rightly so if you pay love, angels are employed above...
Tax due here is easily paid, returns on love are always made.
