I love you like a rosary

I love you like a rosary
In the sense that I want
To honor you with
The caresses of my fingers
And my soft, murmured
Prayers of praise.

I love you like a rosary
In the sense that I want
To contemplate
The mysteries of your life
The mysteries that make
You so wonderful.

I love you like a rosary
In the sense that I want
To hold you close
To my heart
And wrap you around
My wrist
And never let go.

I love you like a rosary
In the sense that I want
To see you only
When I take my last breaths
And to hold onto you
With my final strength.

Love,
If you ask me
How much I love you,
I'll tell you,
I love you like a rosary.
