You mean so very much to me
You've made me born again
You are manna for my soul
And the ink that fills my pen

You inspire me to greatness
And make me a far better man
You are unceasing encouragement
And help me be all that I can

You are an irreplaceable character
In my happily ever after story
You are the sparkle of the morning dew
And the sunrise in all of her glory

You are the scent of spring flowers
And the light of the harvest moon
You are the heat of a summers day
And the brightness of winters noon

You are the caress of an ocean breeze
And the surf breaking upon my shore
You are the depth of ancient woodlands
And to me you are so much more

You are the sound of nature's music
And the steps in a dance for two
You are a sweet shop's featured flavor
And the rainbow's every hue

You are fuel for my poetic muse
My heart, my soul and my life
The summation of all of my dreams
The ideal lover, friend and wife

You've emptied my existence
Then poured yourself within
You are manna for my soul
And the ink that fills my pen

Nice write, I enjoyed much. So beautiful and surrene, with such great images! But, I think the ending could use a little work... Overall, you've got yourself an emotional poem here.
