Elements of Love

Timothy D. Clark 1975

Free verse
I am like fire, I can be the warmth that you need.
I am like the wind, I am swift but gentle.
I am like the water, I can carry you anywhere you wish to go.
I am like the earth, I can grow and change over time, and age with great wisdom.
I am like the sun, I will always brighten up your day and shine brighter than any man.
I am your man, I shall dedicate to you more love and compassion of that of any man.
