My heart and mind belong to you as well does my being,

Every deep thought of you creates memories of loving,

Words of truth flow across my lips to express undying love,

I often write of loving you and who my mind dreams of,

There’s no other being of God’s hand that I could love so,

The moment my eyes saw your beauty true love began to grow,

My heart has beat thunderous sounds as expressions of love,

I’ve also expressed words of love in thanks to our Lord above,

A loneliness unknown to me was delivered with warring sounds,

Loneliness has no boundaries when true love grows in bounds,

My hand belonged to you long before the draft notice came,

I recall those times and I regret not giving you my last name,

The fear of rejection prevented a sophomore year request,

Fate produced a timeline of marriage that seems to be best,

I found comfort within my soul in knowing you were back home,

A promise made six months prior removed any desire to roam,

I promised to return to you when I had a car and other things,

A request to promise came from you and my mind saw our rings,

Fifty years have been spent in love with you and time flew by,

Thoughts of time’s rapid departure brings a sad tear to my eye.

The end.
