In a world of pressure and the painful things I live through,

Each moment of release and happiness is found in you,

From deep within my heart I take pause for a moment,

I use it to cherish each moment with you I have spent,

Oh how I love you, I must speak so now with words true,

My hopes were high yet never did I imagine as it is with you,

No man could ever imagine the joys I’ve known my life through,

There are no words known to describe being loved by you,

In my darkest moments I’ve cried for you in fear of my death,

I’ve no fear of dying yet I cringe at the thought of final breath,

Departure is so unkind as you and I have known from long ago,

Helplessness invades the heart knowing your loved must go,

Yet we endured with open eyes seeking our future hand in hand,

We stood against all odds and we survived each battle’s stand,

I dream, yes, I still dream of days allowed to devote only to you,

So desperately I want to hold you with nothing else I need to do,

Alone with our thoughts we will wade the waters of time’s shore,

Hand in hand two hearts synced to beat together forevermore,

This is my five verse rhyme written on a whim to say it’s true,

No matter where we are I will always be deeply in love with you.

The end, by Pat for Patti.
