For All Of You, I've Always Loved

For All Of You, I’ve  Always Loved

 

a poem by  Chris T.

 

 

 

 

All of you I love

You are my fair-skinned dove

Your azure eyes are the window to your soul

And I am awash in a sea of tranquil blue

For all of you; I’ve always loved

 

Nineteen years we’ve shared our dream

Ups, downs, but our smiles still gleam

My soul calls to yours from deep to deep

With a voice that’s sure and true

For all of you; I’ve always loved

 

God’s most beautiful mind He did create

For the union of our lives can only be fate

The way your tiny nose creases when you grin

And the sound of your gentle voice gives me calm

For all of you; I’ve always loved

 

Our rendition of  ”Look at us” is divine

And in the car we still sing “The best of times”

I pray for nineteen more years of long drives

And a decade more of our cherished talks

For all of you; I’ve always loved

 

So, from love’s precipice I still call

Giving you guidance so you’ll never fall

And you can be certain of my  impassioned cry

If ever you get weary I’ll pick up your form

For all of you: I’ve always loved

Author's Note

Today is my wife’s 40th birthday. And, instead of focusing on the advancement of years, I wanted to write a poem about how much I cherish her. Michelle, my muse, my sanity and my greatest friend; you are a flickering light in a dark world. The joy of loving you knows no bounds and I’ve always said, ” I Am the luckiest guy in the world”. I have promised the Lord that I would treasure His gift and that is just what I’ll do ’til we meet in heaven. Sky, you are the color in my drab pallet. My commitment to you has never changed. When things are blessed, read this poem. When things are rough, read it as well and place your gentle hand in my rough calloused paw. I will always love you,

God gave us love and some think that they created it themselves. God is love. For two, in this day and age to find it and, probably, the past, is rare. When two have this kind of love between them it radiates a light that everyone can see. Some are jealous, some are inspired, and some are in awe. I hope many more years of love for Michelle and you. You have the right center; God! Great write!!
