Eighth Wonder.


The Taj Mahal exists as proof that love like this should not be missed
Pyramids in all their wonder do not compare to our thunder
The seven seas do not contain enough water to quench my thirst like you do
The world in all its magnificence was created just for you

Everest in all its majesty could not take me as high as you
Mysterious Stonehenge try as it may does not intrigue me like you do
Pisa's leaning tower would stand upright if it had you for support
The Colosseum would be lucky to host your sport

Modern marvels like the CN Tower or the Empire State
Would be awestruck by the beauty our love emanates
The great wall of China's ego would deflate
when unable to relate to a love that is this great

The city of lights in France, once synonymous with romance
will replace Mona Lisa in the Louvre with the masterpiece that is you
Art collectors from far and wide, will make pilgrimage to see your nature divine
You will tour the world's museums as the most rare and valuable find

Ice caps would melt in admiration from being exposed to you
Greenland was named after its envy for you
Atlantis would resurface to see why you are such a treasure
Though I would refuse to share you, my wonder, in all your pleasure

There is so much beauty that occurs naturally on this planet, that sometimes I cannot stand it
and I question how God planned it, then I think of you in all your glory, you're perfection
and I thank the universe for making me your selection

No need for diamond rings, blue sapphires or gold
Fancy cars, luxury so far are not needed if it's you I'll always hold
No material possession could compare to your worth
You are my obsession, you beautify this Earth
