It amazes me after all this time here we are together
In my heart I know you were meant for me
I've loved before in the past I know
With no one else though have I felt more free

From our secret little jokes to the way you make me laugh
To the way I feel when you hold my hand
There is a quiet bond between the two of us
You always seem to understand

We've had our share of uphill climbs
I know there will be more on the way
Still though I can't help but smile
For it's you who brightens my every day

I use to want love to be easy
Thinking that is what would make me smile
When you entered in my life
I had to pause and think for a while

I'm so glad I let you in though
For you've shown me how true love can be
I believe that I was meant to be with you
And you were meant for me

This is just a simple poem
My gift though is from my heart
I think back to what seems long ago days
When you and I first got our start

Maybe I am wiser now, I'm not sure
Or maybe love taught me along the way
I just know it's with you my dear love
Is where I want to stay--

There are people who I call my ex lovers
Some who may still even be a friend
But I know when I'm 88 years old
It will be you with me to the end

Written for Bonnie...Words can't adequately
describe the love and joy she has brought into my life. We've had our differences over time, but in the end it's she who makes me smile, who makes me strive to be a better woman, and who reminds me that sometimes when you least expect it, good things happen, sometimes even great things

No finer gift than one from a heart as beautiful as your Amy...
Hugs, and very well done.

what a beautiful gift of love and heart and sweet inspiration you have given...my hope is for you to always have this in your life, you deserve it! hugsss

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone though you're still with me
I've been alone all along..Now I'm bound by the life you left behind

Bonnie has taught you well....when ya least expect...when everything seems like it's going to hell on a bobsled...seems like something good comes from it, or, comes unexpectedly...the true nature of life...nicely written poem ma'am...

What a beautiful way to feel -- may your hearts linger always together in love-
A wonderful gift . . .

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
