A beautiful heart,
A beautiful soul
Your essence within
That cherished me whole.
Through gift and affection,
Talent and skill
An unconditional love
Yearned for the rose's touch
The glorious sun's rays
Never did diminish
Simply did they playfully hide
Amidst the cloud of dusk.
Sometimes we faced the darkness
In the absence of Light,
Yet we must not fear
The Sun is always here,
Resting and thriving.
Sometimes through separation
Did loneliness come to stay,
Though I count down the days
To see you, and make it go away.
As I stare upon this untamed ocean,
I hope as always for us both
A blissful cool, but warm
Love, everlasting.
Mend me when I am injured,
Comfort me when I am sad;
Imbue me with courage
As I will do the same.
So on this day I say to you
And wish will always be
Distance is a foe,
Though love is its adversary
Sustaining and nurturing us;
Forever shall it be.
So on this day I say to you,
And know will always be
Our love and perseverance
Will always find a way.
I watch your travelling soul
Search for calmer waters,
I watch the lion on its mountain
Proud and confident,
I watch the centaur shoot its arrow
And support you where it lands.
My heart is always waiting,
Open just for you,
When our deepest passion,
Love and appreciation
Of each other, surfaces
Shining as one,
From you and I.
Your beautiful heart,
Your beautiful soul,
Your beautiful Self.
