What You Are

You are the music to my lyrics
The shade of rose beneath my blush
The heavenly light awakening my hope
The gentle touch that caresses my soul

You are the whisper kissing the silence
The embrace that creates a perfect poem
The pleasure reviving my sweet dreams
The brilliant stroke of a tender thought

You are the warmth that heals my grief
The flame of joy that glows so radiantly
The strength that gives power to my ideas
The flavor of affection that I can’t contain

You are the kindness beneath my concern
The victory that comes when I have won
The inspiration that brings my vision to life
The consideration that brightens even sunlight

You are the wisdom that causes me to believe
The faith that tells me I am capable of victory
The imagination that brings me through tedium
The thrilling passion that colors my heart burgundy

You are the charity that defines my heart’s wealth
The sincerity that teaches me to listen to my senses
The emotion that lifts me up to the heights of serenity
The beauty that keeps me intrigued by such splendor

You are the laughter that meets my eyes in a twinkle
The breath of wonder which fills my heart with grace
The miracle of a gift sent down from heaven’s oasis
The gesture of generosity discovered beneath my faith

You are the sign that reminds me I will make it
The answer to the prayer that I prayed so relentlessly
The mercy that broke away all worry and fear
The love that gives away much more than it demands

Love like this – there is no mistaking it…
Love like this is unconditional, fulfilling, complete
Love like this is the reason…. I must tell you Happy Valentine’s Day! Today, forever
