TAKE THE RICHES, BUT GIVE ME MY ANGEL!

You may own the planet earth

All its troubles, transients’ joys and name

All its fading beauties, dainties and lost glories

But give me my angel-she worth more than all

You may take the whole wide world

All its heartaches, pains and sweet bitterness

All its fountains, hills and deadly valleys

But give me my angel-she meant the world to me

You may take the universe and own it

All its uncertainty, sensuality, frivolities

All its pestilences, turbulence, disasters

But give me my angel-she’s Queen of my paradise unfathomed

You can take all the wealth and riches

All its pained comfort, short rejoices, lost graces

All its perishables, disgust, trepidation, short-lived

But give me my angel-she’s my true wealth and bountiful riches

All that brings happiness eternal-from my angel

All that beautifies the soul-embedded in my angel

All that thrilled my heart, my mind-escalates my vein-my angel

Your love points to eternity-a light to cheer each winding path

Let me view your constant smiles

Sweetest comfort to my soul from your words

I can sing, dance, rejoice-cause I have you

Till then I shall forever make you “THE ANGEL OF MY LIFE!”
