SOLACE

Let me be the first to say
I love you with my life
and I will always love
holding hands
getting lost in your deep
blue eyes
making you laugh
out loud

Let me be the
the one who whispers
of the years
not long ago
when I first held
you in my arms
and promised
all my love

Let me be the last
to kiss your lips
when this sweet life
is drawing a final breath

You are my joy, you are
my solace, my friend
my dream, my wife
forever and we
are
one
