The One Who Completes Me
A Poem for Mark
Sometimes in life, we are lucky enough to find a partner who fits. We are better together than we are apart. They fill your missing pieces, and you fill theirs. I am blessed enough to have found that.
When I am lost
You come find me
*****
When I am in the darkness
You bring me light
*****
When I am exhausted
You give me rest
*****
When I am discouraged by this cold, cruel world
You bring me warmth and hope
*****
When I want to give up and quit
You encourage me to keep going and support me along the way
*****
When I am happy
You are happy with me
*****
When I am celebrating even the smallest victories
You celebrate with me.
*****
When I am content
You do what you can to keep me that way
*****
When I am full of joy
Your face beams as bright as mine
*****
When I am whole and not broken into a million pieces
You give me a hug that holds all the pieces together.
