With the passing of each day
I have come to love you more.
The twinkling in your eyes
lights up my very soul.
The warmth of your smile
melts away my fears
and your passion for living
adds fire to my own.
You light up the world
with your goodness
as you so readily give
of yourself and your love.
To all who are in need,
you are a friend in deed.
You stand tall among men
in both stature and merit,
yet you blow not your own horn.
You know who you are ~
a man who is comfortable with,
and within, himself.
The pinnacles you have reached,
in all aspects of your life,
have been the result
of your principles
and your work ethics.
You waste not a precious hour
in trivial pursuits,
yet you find the time
to stop and smell a rose.
Your complete devotion
to whatever you have done in life,
had guaranteed the phenomenal
successes that you have achieved.
To be loved by such a man
is a blessing for which I
thank the Lord Above.
With you in my life,
I am filled with the joy of living
and every day brings a promise
of good things yet to come.
Your handsome face
is far more than a
fortunate accident of birth
~ it is a reflection of
your beautiful soul.
Your constant and steadfast ways
has freed me to trust once more,
and this trust has enabled
my  broken heart to love,
and be loved, yet again ~
in all its glorious forms.
The petals have been folding back
slowly since we first met
and now they are fully open
so that you may sip
the sweet nectar of my love.
To you, who has been
so loving and patient,
I now give to you
all that I am.
I share with you
my essence and my body,
for I am a vessel of love
who has long awaited
the right man,
the right place,
and the right moment.

Drink deep, my love,
For our time has come...
