For You
I have learned to love you
Long and tender
As my heart bids me to.
This love,
Flowing from life's pool
Lavished with lessons I've beheld
Weather or not I wanted to,
It is chiseled just for you.
As I look up
Hoping to transcend
The down side of moments
Laced with trials
As I linger, holding on
To what fuels my glee;
I shall love thee
With a love surpassing fear.
For you have been my friend
You have sheltered me
Held me with warmth
When I shivered,
Forgetting my strength.
Now, my heart pulsates
To journey fourth
Loving only you, for you.

(For my beloved husband, Joseph William Lewis), 11/4/15....
