Thank you
for appreciating the little things I do that say I care,
for tolerating all the little things that don't,
for assuming I am always concerned about you,
for missing me the way I miss you,
for watching my favorite shows with me,
for not making me watch yours, but letting me anyway,
for letting me work a puzzle while watching your show,
for working a puzzle instead of commenting on my show,
for understanding wanting you all to myself,
for wanting me all to yourself,
for accepting the faith and trust I place in you,
for the faith and trust you place in me,
for looking at most things the same way I do,
for looking at some things in ways I don't,
for listening for my heart in my voice,
for seeing my heart in my eyes
for looking beyond my failures,
for believing in me,
for being the person you are,
for loving our children,
for our children respecting you,
for helping me to be my best me,
for being just who you are,
for desiring my caresses,
for longing to touch me;
for the contentment of your sighs,
for the passion of your kisses,
for the comfort of your hugs
for your friendship.
for your love.

Stay close, my darling.
It is so dark and cold
when anything between us casts a shadow.
It is easy to get separated in the darkness—
and we both hate the cold.
Speak to me when the shadows fall
and I will whisper your name;
Then we can reach out to each other
and step into the light of each other’s arms
and the warmth of each other’s hearts.

Hold hands with me . . .
Let me entwine my fingers with yours,
Then squeeze to feel the pulse of your love.

Walk with me . . .
Or just let me walk with you,
with a skip in my step, as I soak in your presence.

Stand with me . . .
And let me gaze into your eyes
To bask in the warmth of your soul.

Live with me . . .

Hand in hand,
     Side by side,
          Eye to eye,
               Heart to heart.

Being apart punctuates our lives with question marks.

We ask ourselves, “How long?”
So we dream.
We wonder about each other’s whereabouts.
So we believe.
We concern ourselves with each other’s welfare.
So we pray.

We doubt our wisdom.
So we trust our hearts.
We second guess ourselves.
So we act in faith.
We question our tomorrow.
So we cherish the present.

We fear the question marks that have punctuated our lives.
So we build walls;
Walls to hide from our fear, walls to hide from our frustration,
And walls to hide from our feelings.
Let us never build walls that would cut us off from the world,
Or from each other.

When I think of you,
My thoughts are never punctuated with a question mark,
But always with an exclamation point!
No question is too hard to wait for the answer.
No wall is too hard to climb.

Whatever the question,
You are the answer to all of my dreams.
This time of testing demands an answer,
But, you are the answer that punctuates my life
With the exclamation point of your love!

No words can express what you have done to my soul.
Something was missing and now I feel whole.

I can’t comprehend what you’ve done to my mind.
You accepted and helped me my true self to find.

Indescribable feelings flood through my heart.
To live life without you would tear me apart.

  Inexpressible words,
                   Incomprehensible ideas,
                                            Indescribable feelings,

Could best let me say how your love’s left me dealing
With Inexpresscomprehensivedescribable You !

If you have never experienced the fun and silliness that love brings into your life, then I am sorry you have missed out...and doubt that you have truly experienced love. This is just one of those silly poems and I mean every word of it!

We’ve been here before,
so it seems,
you and I;
So many tears ago.

But it was not this place,
not these eyes,
not these hearts;
So many fears ago.

We stood in the wrong place,
gazed into the wrong eyes,
ached for the wrong heart;
So many cares ago.

Though it seems
we’ve been here before,
you and I,
So many years ago.

This is the right place, we are here together.
These are the right eyes, clearly we see each other.
These are the right hearts, they beat as one;
So many beats to go.

I have lived and been loved by so many,
In so many ways;
Yet I feel as if I did not know what it meant to be loved,
Until you loved me.
I have lived and loved so many,
In so many ways,
And I thought I knew what it meant to love,
Until I loved you.
Because you love me and I love you,
I can now love all these others;
Understand and receive their love, as never before.
Even God’s love is richer and fuller.
But, Love is also requires a choice,
So, I must  also choose.
I choose you,
The Love of My Life.
