Ah Beloved: A Valentine’s Poem


Photo by Matt Wynne
Ah, Beloved,
how precious You are!
How valuable is Your Word of Love!
More to be desired than gold,
more so even than fine diamonds,
Your presence is all that I need.

Hold fast, Beloved,
how mighty You are!
How strong is Your steadfast embrace!
More to be desired than influence,
more so even than the power of kings,
Your heartbeat is all that I need.

O Sweet Beloved,
how gentle You are!
How tender is Your mercy for all!
More to be desired than satin,
more so even than fine silks,
Your hessed is all that I need.
