     Forever Loving You

When first I fell in love with you,
My love was like a flame -
Which burned with bright intensity,
That put the sun to shame.
Your gentle touch restored my soul;
And, in my heart, I knew
That I would spend eternity,
Forever loving you.

And, now, my Love, the years have passed -
Each day, a shining star,
Illuminates the miracle
Of who and what you are.
I thought it was impossible,
Or merely a cliche' -
Yet, now, I find these words are true:
I love you more each day!

And so, into the future, Dear,
We two will boldly go.
And, with each trial that we face,
My love for you will grow.
No matter where life's road may lead,
Our dreams will see us through.
And, in my heart and soul, I'll be
Forever loving you.

Oh My, that was beyond beautiful! It really IS! You are a lucky person and so is your wife for the amount of unconditional love you have to offer. Wonderful writing.

I have, I've walked that road each time; that's where my angel sleeps

Troy, this is so touching and beautiful.  I am sure this had your wife crying tears of joy, she is lucky to have you, but, then again you are both lucky to have each other!    This is one of your best.

Take care,

Troy

Magnificent poem.  This poem was just in time.  My wife had just sat down with me to read some of the poems here in Passions and this was the first one we read together.  Very touching.  We both loved it.

Troy, you definitely sound like a man in love and I am sure that your wife not only knows but cherishes every moment with you.  This is a beautiful and loving tribute to her and your love together...and eloquently penned.

These are the feelings that are prerequisite for true love... "Illuminates the miracle
Of who and what you are."  Perfect!
