Analysis of My Vows
Timothy Lamar McKinley 1958 (Birmingham AL)
You have the touch of an angel,
You have the eyes of a dove,
I am enthralled by your beauty,
I am enslaved by your love.
I am faint for your fervor,
You are sweet to the taste,
I long for your splendor,
My darling, make haste.
All I have,
I give to you,
Wishing I were younger,
And saying I do.
