BECAUSE OF YOU
I would not be the me I am if it were not for you,
You are my light and inspiration my whole life through,
A beacon of light to guide when things go all wrong,
It is you that makes my heart sing a sweet love song.
It is because of you that the poetry flows so free,
A gift given by God, yet once hidden deep within me,
And through your love this talent blossomed and grew,
Raising my thoughts and joy to heights I never knew
The gentle persuasion when in need of a push,
The understanding when the poetry flows in a rush
And I need to sit until the ideas come through,
Oh yes, my inspiration for poetry is because of you.
So do not feel eclipsed by my talent of poetry,
For it would not flow and glide so fast and free
If it were not for you and our love showing the way
For me to improve Gods gift to me every single day.
Because of you I grow, become a much better me,
Because of you I aim for His heaven constantly,
Because of you my darling, true joy I have found,
Because of you for the Celestial Kingdom I am bound.
