With Love
Love
me as a lady,
Cherish
my thoughts and words.
Soft
is my voice.
Like
the feathers of a bird.
Respect
me for what I am.
In
return I'll give you me.
Hold
me too tight,
Like
the bird I'll fight to be free.
Give
me room to grow,
To
understand yourself and I.
Let
me be myself,
And
I will never hide.
Love
me as a baby,
Give
me your warmest smile.
With
tender loving care,
I
choose to stay awhile.
Then
give me a gift,
As
precious as a dove.
This
gift could last a lifetime.
It's
yourself with love.
