My Emerald

Emerald

My beloved,

The precious jewel of my heart

Soon enough,

The celebration  will start

See this engagement band

I have on my hand

Me amour mi Dios

Each moment I spend with you

You say I’m the apple of your eye

That you hear me when I cry

My dearest, I’m not supposed to be with you

And yet you see me through and through

You know the darkest parts of my spirit

And the guilt I have

You immediately kill it

You say to give

My treasures away

But there’s one I’ll keep

Until my wedding day

It’s my emerald

The tradition Jewish wedding stone

I keep my eyes to your face

And wait for you alone

You are my strength and song

Surely you won’t keep us apart

For too long
