Time Will Tell Poem by louis rams

My love for you cannot be put in words.
For how can you stop the wind from blowing
The rain from falling, and the sun
from ceasing to shine.
How can you stop the ocean tides from pounding
Against the shore.
How can you stop my heart from beating anymore.

For if love is to be-as life itself
It must reach all horizons, all depths, all distances.
No matter how far or how long.

I would stretch my hands out to the heavens up above
To show the lord how deep my love.

Even when we‘re far apart.
You will always have my heart.

You are more than life to me.
You are my hopes, my dreams, my fantasies.
And if this world was to cease to exist.
My love will live beyond this time
Until you are finally mine.
