A Tower of Strength

To me you are a tower of strength
to whom I give my love
a goddess an angel
sent down from above
destined to be cherished
fated to be loved

Sometimes I sit so quietly
with hardly much to say
but always my thoughts of you
are never that far away.
Sometimes I look back 
to that first day
you breezed across my way
you looked so beautiful
my eyes could not look away.

You stopped my heart that day
at first I was excited
soon i became delighted
for all I ever wanted 
had just graced my way
so our hearts collided
then at once i decided
with you I'd like to stay

We have our ups
we have our downs
many good times filled with fun
always to me you are number one
our life together will be happy
our time has finally come.

We are building the foundations
that will be our loving home
no longer will we travel
no longer will we roam
for when our day of toil is over
home to us we come.

Our hopes our dreams are not,
so far away it seems,
although over the next few years
we both may shed some tears
as we build upon our future
for our family.

We can not reflect upon our future
for it's somewhere we have not been
so we must strive to keep our dreams
pushing us full steam.
