For My Beloved
You offered me sincere hope
With a longing deep inside my soul
Assuring me that I could cope
With whatever comes you convinced
That I don’t ever need to mope
There is always that second chance
You reminded me that I must have faith
The kind that awakens sweet praise
Promising my heart that it would saith
All that I needed to hear, holding dear
The memories that came like a wraith
Enlightening, inviting, mesmerizing my spirit
You gave me the best of all, your love
With the sincerity of one who knows joy
Incredible elation that comes from above
Shining with shimmering pearls of light
Stunning in ways that I wouldn’t conceive of
Showing my heart that it had been blessed
You extended to me the grace and peace
That only comes with sincere belief
Lingering laughter that would always increase
Comforting my fears, erasing all the tears
Declaring our love, our light, to be a masterpiece
Worthy of every moment we shared our lives
You showed me that this love was a romance
Worthy of our hearts, our souls, our dreams
Love so alive seems to happen at first glance
To those who know that love dances through time
Brings happiness beyond words if you take a chance
And love like this is the last day, last way, last say
You bestowed your affection on my entire life
Granted me acceptance that taught me to care
Taught me that this love would cure all my strife
Penetrate my heart with kindness and inspiration
Feelings that would guide me even in the afterlife
When I know we’ll be together always and forever
You are more than treasured – you are more than unique
You are my heart and soul – you are my love
You are my special dream – the tear caressing my cheek
You are the dance of light that comes from above
Without you, my dear… I can’t imagine how to seek
The joy that comes from knowing you and holding you
You are the love that inspires my soul
Thank you for a love that is always in control!
