Give Yourself to Love with thanks to Kate Wolf
“Give yourself to love
If love is what you're after
Open up your heart
To the tears and laughter” Kate Wolf
Embrace the joys and pain
If growth is what you seek
Let go of all your fears
Just surrender when you’re weak
Give yourself to love
Trust in the journey's turn
We fall within the spell of lust
And let our spirits burn
When my final breath has come,
And my lusting flesh has ceased.
Scatter my ash across the sands
As all memories find release.

And my lusting flesh has ceased.
Scatter my ash across the sands
As all memories find release.

I have just heard the song on youtube - your words could be sung to its tune. One fan comment was by someone who recalled being with her round a fire at a campfire festival when it was the last song of the day, at a time she was terminally ill.
The song easily made me think of a couple happily making love. I thought up a verse using the first two lines of Wolf's song:
Give yourself to love,
give yourself to laughter,
let the joy you find,
resound to the rafter.
