Love Poem: This I Know

This I Know

This I know -
He will love me
As I love him
And we shall reap
And sow and reap again
The fruits of our love.

We shall be as one
As one with the night
That whispers softly in my ears
As one with the day
That showers gold blessings on my face.

We shall be as balm is to the wound
Together side by side,
With joy at each new waking day
And whisper good morning
Into each other's sleepy ears.

This I know -
As I see his face beside me
Tousled and dreamy with sleep
Side by side we shall remain
My lover and me.
