Her

Whisper softly in my ear

Words my heart longs to hear

Caress my cheek softly with your hand

Walk beside me, footprints in the sand

Lie beside me, hold me tight

Together let’s face the long, dark night

Through the days, weeks, months, years

We, as two, can overcome our fears

As long as you hold my hand in your own

This I swear, I’ll never roam

When first I set eye on you

Your beauty, grace - I wonder who

Had the temerity to create such perfection

In what universe was nature’s selection

Of mingled genes ever done so very right

As to create such a perfect sight

A face so beauteous Helen cried

Your every word makes me sigh

Your slightest touch makes my blood run hot

Your endearments all I ever sought

Your slightest pain I want to heal

Your fingers in mine all I need to feel

When you agreed to walk with me

My blood flowed like a tempestuous sea

My days are lit by beauteous sight

My nights filled with loving delight

The day you said to me “I do”

I knew forever I’d fight for you

My universe would end if you said goodby

A river, an ocean, of tears I’d cry

So always will I place you first

Always shall my love slake your thirst

Our children will know the love of a happy home

Knowing Mom and Dad will never roam

Always at your door shall I park my cart

Till death indeed us does part
