Take My Heart As A Gift Of Love Poem by M. A Heathcote

Take my hand and be my bride.
Take my soul and be my guide.
Take my heart as a gift of love
Take my spirit like a becalmed wind.
And cast a spell that binds us side by side.
To sail the waves that would crush me
If I swam through these storms alone

Take my heart without any objection.
Without any rejection,
Take my heart as a gift.
Take my heart as a flower of imperfection.
Take my heart as a gift of love.
Take my heart as a gift of love.
I want to share with you until my last breath.

I must not change these inflexions to suit another.
With every word, I want to honour
How I teetered like a bird on the wind
How I drifted like a butterfly till I found you
Take my heart as an indelible sign.
That now I've carved a love heart on our tree
Our love shall live for all eternity.
