To Know Me Sonnet

I love the simple honesty in you
The unpretentious nature of your style
It shows in everything you say and do
In earnest words and in the your candid smile

You bring out all the best that life can give
The joys and splendors captured in your eye
Then pour them though the finest silken sieve
And place them ,oh so gently, by my side

Tonight your face will glow as surely as
Anticipated twinkling of a star
For in your openness I think I have
Come to know the man you really are

My wish is you endeavor endlessly
To know the woman that’s inside of me

You've made me smile with this one Elizabeth.

This gave me a warm and loving feeling...
Very well said and well done sonnet!
