A Flooded Heart

My love
you deserve the very best
that life has to offer you 
often times I can't even begin to tell you
how much I love you
I imagine your bold 
brilliant and beautiful-face 
before you came into my life
the beauty I see is far beyond 
your outward appearance
I see inside your heart 
as I gaze into your eyes, 
my love I see the beauty of your strength
when I look at you my heart is overjoyed
I am happy because I know that you
have the potential for greatness
to change this world
and make it a better place
to reach your destiny
even through the pains and pitfalls of life
I know you will always reach your fullest potential 
so I don't worry about you
I know that you will take hold of that inner
strength which compels you to stand up and be strong
I only want the best for you
I don't have fame
glory, or riches 
but I do have something more precious than
money could ever buy
I give you my legacy of love
my faith, my hope
and I give you my heart
I am proud of the man I married
and the principle of which you've embraced
know that there isn't anything that you
can't  achieve 
you can conquer any battle 
withstand any storm
and soar above any mountain
I love you my love
and remember my heart is flooded
with love for you
