Three Whispered Words
by Max Burchett
Fame and fortune I sought.
That I found, but at high cost.
Then I found it was not all that I thought.
Then in your love I found the most.
Whispers of love fanning passion’s fire, inspiring burning desire,
In three whispered words spoken to the heart.
To have your love is my greatest desire,
Forever entwined, never to depart.
