I’ve decided once more to write a poem of love and devotion to you,<\/span><\/p>\n

To you I have given my life and for you everything I’ve been through,<\/span><\/p>\n

As I hear a songbird introduce the morning mood, I love you more,<\/span><\/p>\n

It seems everything in my life becomes a memory of what I live for,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is you that has given me the will to fight when I didn’t want to,<\/span><\/p>\n

To say I am grateful beyond the scope of words is so very true,<\/span><\/p>\n

As I reflect on life there is only one day that deserves all my due,<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve so many things to be thankful for but mainly the birth of you,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Without you I would be void love as I have known only love at first sight,<\/span><\/p>\n

Though wings aren’t seen, each day I’m greeted by the angel of first light,<\/span><\/p>\n

With each passing day the visual memory of you remains the same,<\/span><\/p>\n

In my eyes the beautiful angel of my wedding day will always remain,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Each beauty line of endurance upon your angelic face are placed to enhance,<\/span><\/p>\n

Like a fine work of art each line placed by time’s hand are not by chance,<\/span><\/p>\n

So privileged am I to have watched the Master’s hand through the years,<\/span><\/p>\n

Each day you have become so much more beautiful, in joy I shed tears,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your eyes convey the love you carry for our family as I watch you now,<\/span><\/p>\n

I write these words yet my efforts to express seem so empty somehow,<\/span><\/p>\n

Words of grateful love have so much to be desired when writing of you,<\/span><\/p>\n

If I could find these words of expression I would start this poem anew,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To bring precious stones not of earth from places unknown may show,<\/span><\/p>\n

Although after all these years I believe you already know I love you so,<\/span><\/p>\n

One gift given me long ago is the most precious gift of love I’ll ever know,<\/span><\/p>\n

A first kiss given me by you is the finest treasure my epitaph should show,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Should the moon crash to Earth, it can’t describe the sensation within,<\/span><\/p>\n

Without your birth my true existence in life would not be able to begin,<\/span><\/p>\n

In languages unknown that better describe love, “I give my love to you,”<\/span><\/p>\n

From deep within my heart I pray your every birthday wish to come true.<\/span><\/p>\n

The end, by Pat for Patti<\/span><\/p>\n
