I saw the sparkle in your eyes
And I took it the sure sign
You loved me- it was in your smile
I thought you'd be there, stay awhile.
I thought I lost you, very near.
Never, never again dear.
Long as you want, you're mine forever.
In your arms I find my shelter.
We're young now but we won't be always.
Our lives will end on our last days.
I want you to be there as I close my eyes
And leave this body, my disguise.
When I am wrinkled, grey, morose
You will be my beauty's dose.
When my bones are waste and I can't do much
You will be my comforting touch.
My love, my joy, my peace and protection
Never doubt my great affection
For you my knight, my theif, my own;
This heart I give you is not a loan.
So hold me now, forever then
For my love for you will never end.
Take these words, let them sink in
And know me now and my soul therein.
This is a poem I wrote to my husband for Christmas last year. We were not married yet but we knew we would be some day. Our relationship was very rocky because I had had to move several states away but now we are living, as the fairy tales say, happily ever after. :) my inspiration (besides my wonderful man) was a picture of an old couple walking together, arms together like teenagers with a quote at the bottom that said, "Falling in love is easy but staying in love is very special."
