every day
i introduce my very best self
to the day,
to give my world the very best that
she deserves.
it's a natural introduction,
something that i've never
necessarily struggled with.
however, my world has
bolstered my purpose,
my confidence in our universe,
my confidence in its
everlasting beauty.
her eyes captivate me.
i see the stars,
i see Mother Nature's divine handiwork
in her deep brown pupils,
the whites of her eyes
wrapping the world
like the atmosphere
surrounding the earth.
her world is mine,
and my world is hers.
it's such a beautiful thing,
sharing a life and the experience
that comes with it,
carrying the burden
of our journeys together,
easing the load,
inspiring,
smiling through it all.
she is a part of my world,
but she is my world
all the same.
the introduction of
my very best self,
every single day,
it was never an issue, sure.
my motivation to
turn from away from the world,
turn cold,
let that strong feeling of dejection
consume me for good,
that was the issue.
now, so much of
my love and light,
my rich spirit,
it is freely expressed and
adamantly protected
in the name of my world.
the love and care
mutually provided,
the sincerity,
the purity,
it's seeped through the
cracks of a broken heart,
feeding the hunger of a lover,
still a little lost,
still perusing this experience.
my world and i,
hand-in-hand,
perusing this experience
together...
what more could a young man
ask for?
my best self,
my love and light,
bound to the mission of
nurturing my world,
easing the load,
making her smile,
for life.
oh, my world,
i hope you know
what you do for me,
constantly.
thank you, i eternally devote myself
as your soldier,
physically,
spiritually,
and in every capacity necessary
to see you grow and thrive.
thank you

i love you
