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
