I Would Take a Bullet

My love for you is true and has no bounds,
you are my friend, my life, you are my rock,
I adore your voice your melodic sounds,
even when you sneer and angrily mock,

when you need me I will always be there,
without you I would be nothing at all,
your the only one in my life I share,
when I'm in trouble your the one I call,

how or where we live has no consequence,
as long as we're together, we both care,
whether  rich or poor makes no difference,
no one can take what we've got, we're a pair,

your hurting so am I, I will show it,
for you I will always take a bullet.

John Hamilton Date: 10/6/2017 2:11:00 PM Lovely poem Roy, this literally happened in Las Vegas, people were taking a bullet for their family and friends, they say they weren't heroes, and I agree, it's what true love does, it is self-sacrificing. So refreshing to see someone that has true values, eternal principles of love. Congrats on POTD!
