Have I ever told you that… Your embrace is like a whisper In hues of crimson and lavender Coloring me with passion’s breathe Have I ever told you that… Your touch sighs across my soul Capturing songs of wisdoms untold And dancing through my heart’s love Have I ever told you that… Being with you makes my world better A place of delight, joy and enlightenment Free to be me without any secret mysteries Have I ever told you that… Your smile lights up the morning with hope Your voice inspired me to look beyond my thoughts Into the world where I’m told I’ll keep growing Have I ever told you that… You’re my harbor in the raging storms You’re the one I know will always be home When I’m out in a world filled with concern Have I ever told you that… Your heart is like a truth I’ve always known Sent down from heaven to be my one promise For a better place to be when I’m so alone Have I ever told you that… You’re amazing, awesome and alive with kindness When I need peace, you’re the answer for quiet A silent acceptance that grants me true grace Have I ever told you that… Your worst moments are never as bad As it would be if I had to be without you The one who makes me feel like I always can Do anything, be true to love and take whatever comes With assurance that You will always be there, a friend Until the end, forever and always, a home for my heart When no one else is there, I can depend on your hand To guide me and enlighten me and be open with love Have I ever told you that… Poetry Contest Sponsored by John Lawless November 1, 2020

How true this is: Have I ever told you that… Your worst moments are never as bad As it would be if I had to be without you
