An artist in love,
I
Write a poem,
Paint an image of,
And compose music,
For that special love.

A romantic, I read
Her letters and smile
And sleeping, dream
That over the great miles
My heart can reach
That one love.

A man, I wait, patient
With God to hold me up
Through time as I spend
Time through downs and ups
Making my way to where I again
Hold love.

And hers I remain,
Through this stretch;
I push on to the day
When I can rest
Upon her heart with
Love.
