SWEETEST

I tell everyone how so wonderful you are
It's about time I tell you
You own my heart, mind, body, and soul
And taught me about loving true

You make me want to do better
For with my flaws you accept me still
We have perfect love and trust
And I know we always will

Though I say some crazy things at times
You understand the source
You know my heart and soul
And get me back on the right course

I swore I'd never fall in love again
But you managed to steal my heart
It's fragile, so please take care of it
Because its yours now - every part

I am so glad The Gods sent me a man
Who is sensitive and strong
You are compassionate and sweet, yet tough
In your arms nothing is wrong

You stand beside me, and never let me down
That's something I've only dreamed of
I'm finally safe to be myself
While you teach me about love

So darling mine, I hope you see
How wonderful you are
You're way beyond my wildest dreams
And outshine the brightest star.

I started writing this a short time back and finished it in the tranquility of the High Sierras while I was in California for what was probably my final reunion with my entire family. While I had a wonderful time, I missed my sweetest so very much. I was inspired while I was there, how to complete this poem. I'm real happy with it's turn out.
