Ever Lasting Signals

Willem Bernardus Tijssen

I write your name in the sand.
I love to write your name a thousand.
I only write the most important.
But nothing will be enough to stand.
Because everyting I will write in the sand,
Will be taken by the sea.
Far away from the loving land.

I mark your name with shells on the hill.
I love to know your mind, your determing will.
I hope to guard this spot, if it is nature's will.
I do all that is important,
but I need something stronger still.
Something that won't be swept down stream by the sea,
But stay there for ever as a memory for me.

I ensure, that everything I do will last.
I love to secure your name for the future as it was in past.
I take my time, no need to do it fast.
But I know nothing will be strong enough , nothing will do.
Only your love could be stronger,
Could make, that I am of any sense to you.
