My best friend and husband Andrew & I

* * * * *

Before you I was not living
A dark shadow crossed my heart
But the sun came to stay
With all the love you did impart

Before you my heart was lonely
There was no hope that I was seeing
Then you came into my life
And warmed my inner being

Before you I'd watch the sun set
There was no one to hold my hand
But then my heart set on you
As we walked along the sand

Before you my soul was hidden
My goals were not set high
But you gave me so much confidence
And now I reach towards the sky

Before you I was alone
And my heart was closed to love
But you made yourself at home
And now we fit like hand in glove

You'll never really know
How much you mean to me
But I love you without question
You and I were meant to be


I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you
- Shawn Mullins

Oh... I just loved this one, Sue...
Thanks for introducing us to your handsome husband...
One thing that I noticed is that there is a faint resemblence between you and him...
Has anyone ever mentioned that to you before?
I think you have the same smile
~ hugs to both of you from my heart

Awwww...Sue, you and Andrew are so cute together. What a wonderful poem and tribute to a man who captured and stole your heart.

May you always be this much in love.

Hugs, Marti
