Essence of Your Love
"The Essence of your Love"
When I was just a little girl, my mother told me the classic fairytale about a handsome knight on a white horse that would come and sweep me off my feet,
In one precious moment our eyes would meet, our souls would become intertwined, and as one our hearts would beat.
As I came of age, and was permitted to date. I began to speculate that I would never find my soulmate.
Time passed, and I became worrisome that my years were slipping by, and my prince had yet arrived.
Had I gotten overlooked by fate, was I destined to be deprived?
The clock did not slow down, as it continued to tick away...
Until the tables had turned and you just appeared in my life, on the most beautiful crisp autumn day.
Everything happened so fast, within six months we were walking down the aisle.
We were lost in one anothers eyes as we recited our vows, I couldn't help but smile.
You have made it a ritual to tell me everyday how beautiful I am, and how much you love me.
For my heart belongs to you, the are the holder of the key.
The Essence of your love, allow me to tell you what this entails.
During hard times we inhale, exhale, and then our strength and faith prevails.
Communication yes, that is fundamental we speak only the truth.
We are aware that words are weapons, therefore we have couth.
Side by side we stand, never in front of or behind,
I would chose you again, if given the chance to rewind.
An amazing husband, father, and bestfriend.
Amen, your my godsend, I intend all my living days with you to spend.
The Essence of your Love, still gives me butterflies in my stomach when you are near,
Even after all this time, as we approach our tenth year.
I am as madly in love with you as I was early on, but a bit of contradiction because I love you more as each day passes.
So here is a toast to, "The Essence of your Love" let us raise our glasses.
