You Asked...Here's Your Answer
Amy M. Kennedy

I use to feel that magic and fate
were just beyond my grasp
And that true happiness was locked up in a necklace
And I didn't have the key that opened up the clasp

I've led a happy life, please don't misunderstand
Seen rainbow skies and sunny days
But I didn't know true love
That didn't occur until I touched your hand

You've opened up my soul
Showed me the light of true love
And everyday I thank my lucky stars
And our Savior the Lord above

You ask why do I love you, and not someone else
There are so many reasons, I couldn't just name one
But I'll begin with your my soul-mate
With you my life's just begun

The smile in your voice, the touch of your hand
The way your face lights up when I tell a joke
The way you always seem to understand
The strength of your love, my guarded walls it broke

It's the sound of your laugh
The feel of your touch
The light in your eyes, they all serve to remind
I've never loved so much

So many reasons darlin' that I love you so
When I'm with you...I hear the Angel's sing
And I think it's time you know
You are the wind beneath my wings

You placed your hand into mine
My heart you captured from the start
And everyday I love you more
I pray we never part

Forever I shall love you, I won't ever stop
You complete me in ways I thought impossible, take my breath away
And till the ends of time
By your side and in your heart
I shall forever stay.

BUT if for some reason, I do have to go
I just want you to remember, and always to know
You have made my life all that it has become
And are the true love of my life, my forever and ONLY one.

Amy,

This was just lovely.  What a soft heart you have written with here my friend.  Very nice.
Here is to hoping you never have to let go.
