To what do I owe
This wonderful girl
Lying next to me?
All I did
Was comfort her,
Was calm her stormy sea

To what do I owe
This glowing angel
Watching after me?
I have saved no lives.
I have built no home.
I have set no people free.

To what do I owe
This blooming flower
Smelling so sweet to me?
So bright, so big,
So beautiful.
It brings me to my knees.

To what do I owe
This red beating heart
That beats along with me?
I fell for her.
She fell for me.
It came so naturally.

To what do I owe
This wonderful girl
Lying next to me?
I treated her
How she deserv'd.
Now I clearly see

I love her more
than I can bear.
All I can do is breathe

Andrew, I'm going to really enjoy reading your work....you're in love and you love to write about it!!  LOL  

Yep, this hopeless romantic is in love and she loves writing about it, too!!  

I love this poem and really relate to it. I expecially like this part....

To what do I owe
This red beating heart
That beats along with me?
I fell for her.
She fell for me.
It came so naturally.


And ....

WELCOME
Enjoyed the write.
And it's not to what but to whom you owe.
BTW, you can pay me now, or later.


All kidding aside, welcome, and hope you enjoy your time here.
