Sonnet to Love
The Sun, and moon and stars cannot compare
To the greatness of my love for you
Not even the sight of diamonds rare
Could overpower your gift of beauty true
The stars are jealous of your glowing face
The song thrush envies for the charm of your voice
The world adores, for you abound in grace
For at your first breath, all the heavens rejoiced
The angels praise your beauty, for it’s short of pride
And the only thing that lacks in you is arrogance
And thus true beauty in you does abide
For this I write a sonnet declaring your espérance
The love I hold for you is quite enduring
For I will never stop it from occurring.
