Tender love

Gary Bachlund

I love you as you love me,

In the evening and the morning,

Nor was there a day when you and I

Did not share our troubles.

And when we shared them

They became easier to bear;

You comforted me in my distress,

And I wept in your laments.

Therefore, may God's blessing be upon you,

You, my life's joy.

God protect you, keep you for me,

And protect and keep us both.
