I Have Loved You

I know now these words will never let you truly go on
But, it's my effort to show you where we've been all along
And, so we lie apart with your mind and it's wonder of how I feel
In your carrying of anger instead of searching what was really real...

All of my life it was you that I carried here in my heart
How often I wondered what you were like when years kept us apart
But, I have loved you even before I ever saw your face
Just finally our presence together was when I found my place...

Don't ever believe my heart was never on your side
For I walked many miles in life holding you inside
We had the seasons for proof that we shared a common ground
And, how the earth was a part of the love we found...

Oh, I sure have loved you on a warm summers night
With just the stars overhead and their peaceful light
And, how I loved you when in the air was a hint of dawn
Cause, I loved you there the whole night long...

We have loved when you wanted to love and we shared that space
We loved while fall winds moved the leaves that fell with grace
Just a chill of the winds we sure kept one another warm
And, still loved as God gave us the harsh winter storms...

Oh, I have loved you while white filled the fields of brown
And, I loved you as each tiny flake fell down
For the snow was just another season we went through
Oh, how beautiful white sure looked on you...

So, we may lie apart now but it can never be taken back
And, these memories will remain as long as the seasons last
Just never doubt that I just did the best I could in life
May your heart show you someday I only did what was right...

WOW! That is pure poetry. Absolutely fantastic, Sauni. Wish I had written that.
You never cease to amaze me, sweet friend.

(sigh) This is soooooooo beautifully bittersweet, sweet friend, it was a little sad to feel the memories of love passed now but may they always shine in your heart and fill you with true happiness! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is wonderful! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Saunni, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
