I love you
Your amber tresses that flow with the spring air
That cradles your head at night when you lay to rest
Your rich blue eyes
pale like the early afternoon sky
Your broad smile that brightens the darkest nights and eases the hardest days
When you look at me and I see myself in you I realize I took part in the creation of something this wonderfulI cherish you
Your smile that brings me joy
The kind of joy you feel when you awake from a restful sleep
and the birds chirp happily in the lush green trees that encapsulates our home
Your words that make me think
They plant seeds of wisdom and experiences I experience vicariously through you
Yet you exude youthfulness that ebbs the sorrow within me
I lock these away into the depths of my soul and revisit them when I’m no longer with youI honor you
I bring forth the warmth of your skin
to cold toes and tired backs
The nourishment of your heart and lungs
flow through me
As the enrichment of your eyes and mouth settle on my tongue
I rest on your bones and carve art with your fingers
Your death was not in vain
Not for naught
Was not a deliberate act of Evil
For I have honored, cherished, and loved you the way no one has
or ever will
