You Take Away my Love
What have I gained in falling in love with you?
My whole life has been a mystery without love
Wondering away from place to place
Then, if it was not for you, I would not receive your love
I cannot blame you, for my love is pure like Ganges
But yet I am to be blamed if I deceive you
By conscious effort of what you refuse
I forgive your robbery of my heart
Because you give me happiness
Like no other while stealing away my poverty
Thy love is a great relief
To undergo transformation spiritually
Which reduces my injury
Thankful to God’s grace who turns illness to wellness
And I learn to grow despite my illness and my foes
Whom I keep closer like my friends
