My heart stirs within when I see him come near.
The emotions well up and I see him shed a tear.

I know I am ever always in his prayers.
He has a golden heart, and no one compares.

With sentiments expressed by very few,
He shows me a love that is pure and true.

It’s not a passion born from lust and desire,
But instead of affection, concern and an eternal fire.

A fire kindled by compassion and care,
A selfless giving that is always there.

We share a fondness so strong it provides comfort and warmth,
Acceptance of each other, never judging our worth.

In few others can I confide my insecurities and fears.
Many times, I have shared with him my secrets and tears.

I rarely deserve his unfailing love.
His presence in my life is a gift from above.

I don’t know the future and life is often much too unfair,
But one thing I know and to which I’m very aware,

I don’t deserve him and his faithful companionship.
No matter what comes may God bless our relationship.
