If I Am -- You Are (Part 1)

If I am a stonewall, YOU are the shim that makes me Whole
YOU are the root the glorious Bloom, I, the thorned stem of a  Rose

If I am the rising Sun, YOU are the Golden warmth around me
YOU are the illumination of Moonlight, I, just the twinkle of a star

If I am the waves of the ocean, YOU are the Loving Life with in
YOU are the Everlasting Love of my Heart, I, Forever Your Liege
  
                                 TO   BARBARA
