How absurd is it that
We’re formed in a womb for nine months,
And die in a second?

Work for eight hours or more a day,
And sleep for just a little?

Build a friendship for a lifetime,
Yet destroy trust in a few seconds?

Love someone for years,
And fall out of love in a snap?

Live for seventy years or more,
And die in the blink of an eye?

Life is full of mysterious paradoxes
That are beyond our comprehension.
The more we try to understand it,
The more we fail to see its beauty.

Because you see,
Life is not meant to be understood-
It is meant to be lived.

Your love fills my soul with the light
Of eternity and hope;
You complete me like nothing I have ever known.
You made me forget all my strife with each tender smile,
And brought beauty which made my life worth while.

There's not a day that I would not be grateful,
To the heavens for blessing me with something so beautiful.
A soul like yours so precious that I never thought existed,
'Til you came into my life and proved risking love was never wasted.

The light in your eyes fills me with wonder,
Your love and affection lifted me like no other.
You changed my life and set me free from my fears,
You healed my bleeding scars and wiped away all of my tears.

I have never thought I'd love someone as much as I love you,
Because I've always been scared of falling and of love itself too.
But I was glad I risked it all for a precious boy who's loving and kind,
Because right now he is the greatest gift that's ever been mine.
