I woke this morning in a state of worry in thoughts of you,

Fear filled every cell of my being as I wondered what to do,

I thought of how my world wouldn’t exist if you aren’t near,

Every tiny bit of my existence would fail even what I hear,

Every word I’ve ever written to you in a love note or rhyme,

Has been from deep within my being each and every time,

Each time I have composed a poem I have reached deep,

Into the depth of my soul I have searched for words to reap,

Words to describe feelings for something cute you’ve done,

Are much different than words that say you’re my only one,

I’ve said I love you so often I truly fear the words are weak,
I search for words to describe my love’s depth when I speak,

Normal is what words of love become when said too much,

One day I hope to find words unique to us when we touch,

There’s something I always do when I’m a in state of despair,

Prayers redeem our hearts to be shown as a sacred pair,

For in our hearts is the depth of the shared love we keep,

A hurt, even if minuscule is enough to bring one to weep,

To see a droplet of despair come from your preciousness,

Breaks my heart so deeply it is beyond words to express,

Every thought of you is woven with love from my heart,

On the day we first met is when my life truly did start,

You are the part that fills me with love and joy each day,

In you I’ve found love and at your side I will forever stay.

The end. For Patti. From Pat.
