My Lover And Best Friend

Innocence surrounds you in life: yet you're as sharp as any knife. And your love's magical effect: polishes dreams dimmed by neglect. When doubt breaches my inner walls, your compassion cushions my falls. And restoring lost hope and pride, you put confidence in my stride. Your smile melts sadness from within, allowing my smile to begin. And your faith in me pulls me through: without your help, what would I do? You're forgiving, patient, and kind: virtues that aren't easy to find. And that extraordinary blend makes you my lover and best friend.

I was looking for a nice old poem today and believe me that I am glad that I come across this come, it was absolutely beautiful, yeah you are right,lucky are those you end up marrying their opposite gender best friends and even psychology tells is that if we marry our best friend, the chance of divorce is reduced by 80 percent, good luck and have a really nice day

My aunt had a favourite saying, she used to say " if you want a marriage that lasts then marry your best friend", needless to say I took her advice, and it was so true. Love your poem Emile. A7
