The Love of My Life

https://soundcloud.com/diana-van-den-berg-2/the-love-of-my-life

You sing my soul-strings quiver-thrilled
and raise the sun up in my sky
and fluff the clouds to cushion-soft
and angel-kiss my every sigh.

You whisper words in teasing breeze
that set my love for you on fire
and caress my thoughts with gentle hands
and fly my spirit higher and higher.

Without you I would cease to breathe.
You are my night, my dawn, my day.
You’re every thought that I conceive.
You’re in my bones, my DNA.

Owl

My bones, my DNA. I've never heard it expressed so deeply. I'm tempted to plagiarise verbally.

Thank you, Redstart!  That is how it feels.  Giggles at being tempted to plagiarise it.  Smiles.

Giggles, Lori!  Yes, I have it bad - and at the age of 69 - well, 68 when we met!  Yes, it is the very best kind.  I am glad my joy is so obvious - but then it is difficult to contain it.

And bless your heart for celebrating it with us!
