I have lived through endless dark nights of loneliness
broken through into the bright light of affirmation
and watched life become a feast of days,
because... you love me.

The pure joy of discovery is the gift you give.
I know what it is to love completely
and to become selfless within love’s power.
Who I was is now who I am because of you.

I feel your touch in every caress of the wind
in the warmth of the sun,
in the softness of the moon’s glow,
and the beauty of a child’s laughter.

Knowing how you hold me in your heart
cradles me in love’s warmth throughout each day.
Amongst women I am one of the blessed ones,
because... you love me.
