Count

Rothya James

I count the ways I love you
my fears I count those too
I count our moments of rhyme
our time in time
our mind to mind
I count on you
I count the women I’ve known
all the stones and moans
love and lays
and many ways
I love a woman true
in this I count you too
I count the bread I break
the stake I stake
the cake I bake
with you
I count all this
never have I counted bliss
young woman in the way
I love you this day

It take daring to love, Audacity when it's lost Fighting injustice makes you justified, ignoring injustice makes you unjust Men make circle in life and women are at the center To love someone is to surrender yourself and in so doing completes you The beauty of youth is foolishness the beauty of age is reflectiveness the beauty of life is both Women want to be adored men wish to be honored Big ideas can make you heroic small ideas can make you frivolous no ideas can make you invisible Don't fear life, embrace it, shape it and you can form a h eaven A perfect day is rare, and imperfect day strives for perfection Knowing yourself and you can withstand any tragedy, not knowing yourself creates tragedy By Rothya James
