Cupid



Late nestled on yon Venus' tender breast,
Young Cupid lay in torpid slumber bound.
Then, waking from that languid seat of rest,
He sighed, out-peering from his blind around.
Straight arrow fast against taut bowstring pressed.

And gallant swain did he at length espy:
Gave flight apace to arrow quick and true,
That mounted through the clam'rous air on high,
That callow, rustic heart smote nigh full through.
And there engendered ardor yet to vie

The heart of Rosaleen to win in love;
Who hath his suit ere now full high disdained.
Yet Venus, gazing down from throne above,
Upon the youth sweet speech of Love ordained,
Whence won the swain the hand of that sweet dove.

Thomas J. Mitchell

I Will Always Love You
 
  You know I will always love you
Far beyond eternity
Much longer than forever
For you meant so much to me
Longer than a million lifetimes
As long as time has its place
I will always have you in my heart
Soul to soul and face to face
You will be there in my waking hours
I will spend time in your dreams
Two heartfelt souls together
Embracing love as warm as it seems
You know I will love you forever
I can feel you in my veins
In every single breath I take
I can even sense your pain
But there is nothing here quite like it
And nothing that can compare
With the fire and the passion
And the depth of love we share
There’s a friendship that holds us together
Even when we are a part
Through many smiles and laughter
And caring words from the heart
Through the aches of separation
Reminding us just how we feel
Often speaking the words “ I love you”
Is most caringly revealed
You know I will always love you
You are the answer to my prayers
My sweet and guiding angel
For in life no one can compare
With the love that you have given me
And your words so soft and true
To tell you over and over again
I will always be in love with you

William Lindenmuth
