I Love You

If you could look into my mind,
  you would readily see,
How much I really love you and
  just what you mean to me.

I can see in my mind’s eye
  the portrait of your face,
Which no artist could recreate
  and time could not erase.

So with each passing of the day,
  and coming of the night,
I remember when we were together,
  and the arms that held me tight.

Although I have no great offer
  like frankincense or myrrh,
You have my love and devotion –
  of this you are assured.

No matter what time is given to us -
  or what trials life should ensue,
Just remember from this poem,
  the mere words – “I Love You!”
