Forever I’ll love you, forever I’ll stand
Sometimes a song will have a single line
That’s a stinker, and then I stay silent
Or change it somehow.
“I could sing of your love forever.”
How does the writer know?
I know how fickle humans can be.
Why write something that might perjure the singer?
I have found the best summary
On why to avoid such lines.
From Christina Rossetti, a poet
Who sometimes has a verse profound.
“O Lord, I cannot plead my love of Thee:
I plead Thy love of me;—
The shallow conduit hails the unfathomed sea.”
