I know once in a while I need to stop and hold you tight,<\/p>\n
To watch a falling star race to earth in the dark of night,<\/p>\n
Take time to whisper in your ear and whisper thank you,<\/p>\n
Place a kiss upon your lips and acknowledge all you do,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I work hard throughout the day to end it filled with pain,<\/p>\n
You have endured my worst of times yet you still remain,<\/p>\n
There\u2019s been so many times misfortune hung overhead,<\/p>\n
Years ago I survived because of parting words you said,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Many can\u2019t understand how such simple words could be,<\/p>\n
Saving words twice said became words of heaven to me,<\/p>\n
\u201cCome back to me, promise\u201d were etched forever inside,<\/p>\n
Words of your heart said so sincere to me I confess I cried,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Throughout life\u2019s journey simple words of love were said,<\/p>\n
I have held them dear to my heart to help me fight dread,<\/p>\n
So many events from being drafted have clouded my life,<\/p>\n
It was a torturous journey being unsure of my future wife,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Holding you long ago awoke a man from hidden despair,<\/p>\n
Throughout my life you\u2019ve been the miracle of my repair,<\/p>\n
Heaven sunbeams are in your touch yet you have no clue,<\/p>\n
An enormous woman of love within the smallness of you,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If despair returns to me I search for the tiny hand of love,<\/p>\n
My quieting light from hazel eyes puts me in touch above,<\/p>\n
Blessings of love bestowed upon me for reasons unknown,<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve thanked God to be married to the best woman known.<\/p>\n
