Soft, brown eyes gaze across darkened sea,
to one so far and yet so near.
A lover first and always friends,
when loneliness calls, he does appear.
To hold a hand and gently dry some tears,
to place a smile upon lips again.
With soft voice that caresses and heals,
he soothes this addled brain.
Memories sweet and precious
live forever in a heart,
of times of hopes and special dreams
that sadly came apart.
But this love so strong, it lingers still
and never will it die.
It has blessed a heart with love and truth
and never once did his love lie.
And with it comes much happiness,
these feelings one can't deny.
Because of him, a soul flies free.
There, before the grace of him, go I.
