THE LIST

You asked me to make a list to read,
of all the things I think you need
That I should consider your hopes and dreams
and know in my heart what it all means

This task I took on with all my heart
but had such a time in beginning to start
It’s not that I don’t see all what you want me to
it’s just hard to find, the words that will do

I am no longer blind as I may have been in the past
I have opened my heart to a love that will last.
What may have seemed as indifference to you
was really just fear blocking a love so true.

For every mistake or word mis-spoken
my efforts today seem only a token
for there is no way for me to explain
how great my love is under all of that pain

Yet so powerful this love that I feel for you
that no matter what you may say or may do
I will continue to try have you see clear
what in the words you can not hear

This heart and soul now exist for only you
they thrive on those moments that are too few
but in time you should know without any doubt
You heart and soul is what they’re all about

So I begin my list with help from above
and hope you consider this effort with love
