All I Have

I don't have a plane or a yacht,
Or a big fine house on the bay.
Not a business czar or mogul,
Nor a statesman or potentate.

No I don't have much to offer,
Of material worldly things.
Have no claims to fame or fortune,
No shining star and never been.

What I do have can't be measured,
And no it can't be bought or sold.
So then for some it has no value,
Because it has no worth in gold.

Only things I have to offer,
Are just my heart that's pure and true,
And a mind and soul and body,
That I will dedicate to you.

If to you these things have meaning,
You understand whereof I speak,
Then we just may have a future.
Let's take a chance on you and me.

Well Free.....anyone who puts material things ahead of sincere love....need their head examined....I bet their heart isn't beating with tiny threads of pure gold...

Any man who dedicates mind-soul-body...to me.....smitten
How could a mere female deny him..... choir

Free...this one is just absolutely precious!!

In the long run, fortunes may come and fortunes may go. It's the love that you have for each other that will get you through the lean times and the mean times.

Truly honest and from the heart!hug teddybear bouquet

Ahh, niah... You always have something insightful to say. The mechanical heart comment reminded me of Tic-Toc from the Oz stories. grin Would that I could jump aboard your tiny cartoon spaceship and wing around the world at light speed...
