.....LO, I AM ON MY KNEE....

.....LO, I AM ON MY KNEE....

Dedication, care I would call you my love
You have given me thirty years of your life
My children are your gift dear, you have treated me by Jove
Yourself you have exhausted fully by age you are now ripe.

What shall I call you, sweetheart, no, your sweeter than everything
Without you, without your presence, simply I am nothing
My food, my dress, my sleep and my books and my ink
You have given everything honey  have turned pale from pink.

Is there anything I don't remember have you got any return
You have never been ill to wish my option in turn
Like a child ah..you have wished nothing from me
Not a kiss even you have ever demanded lo, I am on my knee.
