You Are

You are the poem that I write –

The prayer before I sleep each night –

The music that I hear today –

The light that guides my steps each day.

You are my hope and aspiration –

The source of all my inspiration –

The symphony that I try to write –

The rays of the early morning light.

Words are not enough, I cannot conceal –

Symbols expressing all the joy I feel –

So many ways to show how much I care –

Love waiting for a time that we can share.

You are the sonnet the Brownings’

sought to write –

My sweet princess waiting for her

gallant knight –

Cinderella hoping for a perfect fit –

The Mona Lisa smile no one can forget.

You are the star in Van Gogh’s

Starry, Starry night –

The pot of gold beneath the rainbow –

shinning bright –

You are the promised hopes that all

my dreams contained –

The love that since childhood I felt

was preordained.

You are the poem I try to write…
