the darkness lingers
but dares not stand
nearest my heart
for my love's light
would bash its borders
if it even dared try to
shadow any of my
footsteps path
I never doubt this
the smile in my soul
prevents that
as the joy in his
hovering nearness
regularly enforces
what is love without support
what is tenderness
without that sweet component
of trust
what is compassion without
enduring love's carefully
built foundation
its more than just making love
its the building of a life
the anchoring of two hearts
and the melding of
marvelous memories to
hopes for a stable future
together
sighing to myself
wow
he will be giving me
something else
I always longed for
my own family
whoever said money can't buy
happiness
somehow they were misquoted
I am sure
its words
for us anyway
it was words that
bought both our
long awaited for
happiness
and so
among my my blessings
he I will always count
first
just as I know he counts me.........
