There is one thing I crave beyond all else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not wealth, for I have that and it means little to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not power, for my crown would rest uneasy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
with any more than I now wield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fame would bore me,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and healthy I have made of myself<\/p>\n\n\n\n
like all other things I possess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beauty I appreciate, especially knowing<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will never be classically beautiful<\/p>\n\n\n\n
as you are my dear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One thing lights my fire and stokes it,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
making my passion burn as a small sun,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
fusion as scientists can only dream of<\/p>\n\n\n\n
emitting light for the entire world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My desire that heats my dreams<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and powers my actions is simple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to bring you happiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To make you want to smile,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
with that radiance beyond a thousand<\/p>\n\n\n\n
stars in the Heavens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To make your eyes glitter,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sparkling as your lips part in laughter<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and your spirit soars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That<\/strong> is what I want.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There is one thing I crave beyond all else. Not wealth, for I have that and it means little to me.
