In a Desert of dry sand filled with thorns
A Rose may not die but it will certainly mourn
Before you make this choice to be with me
Please take a good look, at all that you see
I have no Mansion on a hill with a Crystal Chandelier
The precariousness of my life, we will live in fear
For you, there will be no dresses for special dances
Necessities of life will be one in a million chances
A peaceful life to have, I must give up all that I earned
For so many decades, happiness is all I yearned
In this difficult decision, I must give up all
Only then I can answer my destiny’s call
All I have to give is standing in front of you
Think once, twice, thrice, before you say I do
Look into the ocean, the myriads of miles of Sea
That silent empty distance, well, that is me!

I must go back, then, a little way to the choice mercies of yesterday, and though all may be dark now, I must light up the lamps of the past. They shall glitter through the darkness, and I shall trust in the Lord till the day break, and the shadows flee away.
