Gratefulness

My miracle,

My light,

My truth,

My joy,

My blessing,

My one,

My only,

My love:

Thank you for all that you are

And for all that you give me.

Thank you for being

The answer to my prayers of deepest longing.

Thank you for your love.

An Open Letter

Oh you are extraordinary, great love of mine!  Each moment we share, together or apart, brings joy beyond description into my life.

You move me with your talent and passion for the wonderful art of music, the art that connected our paths before we ever knew they would cross, let alone join together.

I cherish every note you play, sing, and write; each piece that we have performed together is dear to me; the songs we have heard and connected to will always hold a special place in my heart.

I look forward to all of the music our lives will be filled with my love. ❤️ 

Chasing Sunset

There is little to be sure of 

In this old wide world

But my love, with you

All I long to be, for all eternity 

Is greeting mornings

Chasing sunsets

And keeping each moment

In between

In the deepest parts of our hearts.

Heartsong

Hear my heart

As it sings your name

A glorious melody

That's never the same.

For each passing day

Is made wonderfully new

In sharing the song

Made from loving you.

Dancing Heart to Heart

I think back
To when this all began
When we were simply
Woman and man
Not more than partners
Aloof and apart
Who could have forseen
This remarkable affair
of the heart?

If I could tell you one thing
To keep for all of time
So you could know how much I love
That I can call you mine,
I would just want to say:

Darling I am with you always
Neither time nor space nor distance
Can keep us apart
Darling I am with you always
And forever we'll be dancing
Heart to heart.

It's a funny thing
And wonderful to know
Just how with room and patience
Our love began to grow
And you have given me so much now
More than I ever dreamed
More than I knew was possible:
You complete me.

If I could tell you one thing
To keep for all of time
So you could know how much I love
That I can call you mine,
I would just want to say:

Darling I am with you always
Neither time nor space nor distance
Can keep us apart
Darling I am with you always
And forever we'll be dancing
Heart to heart.

When I try to fathom
The depth of joy I find
In knowing how your spirit
Feels intertwined with mine
Just like how my fingers
Fit perfectly with yours
As we keep each other
Steady on life's course.

If I could tell you one thing
To keep for all of time
So you could know how much I love
That I can call you mine,
I would just want to say:

Oh my darling, I am with you always.
Neither time nor space nor distance
Can keep us apart
Darling I am with you always
And forever we'll be dancing
Heart to heart.

Home Hand Heart

I'm closer to home
Because I can hold your hand;
my longing heart calms.

Gold

I didn't always like gold.  I found it garish in comparison to the gentle elegance of silver.

Yet now, I am so often filled with a golden light at the joy of loving you that I cannot help but adore the color.  

We change each other for the better, even in the smallest ways.

Jane Moments

More and more often I have moments where I feel overwhelmed with happiness.

To quote Jane Bennet (in the 2005 film at least), "Can you die of happiness?"
