JULIE MITCHELL
"Love is not written in the stars", Corsicana Daily Sun, November 6, 2017
If a man can be properly said to love something, it must be clear that he feels affection for it as a whole, and does not love part of it to the exclusion of the rest.

True love begins in heaven's bower,
Unfolds on earth a perfect flower.

Silence and timid tears reveal his heart.

To mouth his meagre passion -- and depart.

This is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love

I feel you
The joy it brings
Where heaven waits
Those golden gates
And back again
You take me to
And lead me through oblivion
