Simply Love

Dedicated to my dear wife Cathie At last my soul is finally at peace It's waited a very long time For a love like ours to come along One of melody and of rhyme Totally captured this heart of mine A love no other has earned You whisper and softly take my hand To a place I've always yearned With you in my life forevermore Our hearts are tightly entwined Knew this from that very first night The future was bound to shine At last my soul is finally at peace It's waited a very long time © Jack Ellison 2012

"You whisper and softly take my hand To a place I've always yearned" What a gorgeous couple of lines right there. What more can you ask in life? "At last my soul is finally at peace It's waited a very long time " This is so beautiful... I am hoping your soul feels at peace. You are so so so loved! Always, Laura

Beautiful... You should frame this on fancy paper and give it to her with a single red rose... or a dozen for the bling quality...PS. don't get too peaceful... she may want to give you a present later.... OOOPPPs.... Did I say that... I'm not normally like that... Just couldn't help myself...
