My Person

Ever since I can remember
I have wanted my own person
That special person that would be mine
Who would want me to be their person
We would not want to be anyone else's person

I thought I had found my person
Yet that was not to be
I was left to wonder why
What went wrong
What was missing
Was there something wrong with me
I needed to look inside to see
Continuing a journey
Becoming myself

Before I could find my special person
I had to become
Explore
Understand
Be
My own person
How else could I recognize
When my person appeared to me

Then that special day
Like a vision she appeared
My person
My endless love
She is my hand
I am her glove
My everything she's more than enough
She accepts me as I am with all my stuff
She is gentle when life is tough

Created just for me
The breath and air I breathe
The one I patiently waited to receive
My person, friend and lover who will not leave
The completion of me
She makes me truly believe
That I am worthy to be
Her person
Her dream

She is my person
She is also her own
She knows herself
She is never alone
For part of me is part of her
Together we are more than what we were
Yet the lines of self they do not blur
They are amplified
Redefined by the beauty
Of finding
Of being with
My special 
Amazing
Loving
Spectacular
Person

Justin Bordner August 17, 2014 at 8:51 PM Damn Richard, this is an amazing poem of blessed companionship. A love and partnership made possiblie in part by having the bravery to know who you are and to like who you are, enabling you to give everything you can to your Lady. This is a handsome poem of two people being honest with themselves and making honest love together. An inspiring poem. Richard Lamoureux August 17, 2014 at 11:04 PM If I could favourite a comment this would most certainly be high on the list. I thank you my friend.

Monterey Sirak May 6, 2014 at 6:01 AM A beautiful and heartfelt write. You and your wife are lucky to have found the one person that when you give all of yourself to, you become much more not less. Richard Lamoureux May 6, 2014 at 7:43 AM It has been the best Twentyone years of my life. I have also in my former life known the feeling of being less. I much prefer this life.

Sandra Adams April 30, 2014 at 7:40 PM what a beautiful write, and an even better tale within...you are both fortunate to have each other and have what many may never find! Enjoyed this beautiful write! Hugs Richard Lamoureux April 30, 2014 at 9:45 PM I do indeed feel fortunate, I try my best to never take her for granted.

Andrea Dietrich April 30, 2014 at 7:06 PM yes, you caught the essence of what it all means. You have to be your OWN person to realize this dream. VERY good message, Richard, and you got it right. That daydreamer was me as a teenager. I was an incorrigible dreamer, but how time has changed me!! btw, do you ever watch Grey's Anatomy? Meredith has a "person" and it's not even her husband but a girlfriend to whom she tells everything. I think a lot of girls are this way. Richard Lamoureux April 30, 2014 at 9:44 PM Nope don't watch Grays Anatomy, have seen a few times. There's the Asian lady I think her name is Yang, I find her character intriguing.

Nette Onclaud April 30, 2014 at 6:35 PM this is so heartwarming and delightful.. a wonder of a piece, rich!... huggs Richard Lamoureux April 30, 2014 at 9:46 PM Aww thanks Nette.

Richard Lamoureux April 29, 2014 at 7:53 PM Thanks Brooke. We met in Puerto Vallarta 21 years ago this April. I was from Kitchener Ontario and she was from Vancouver. I knew after three days that she was the one and moved out west to be with her. Best move of my life.

Life is indeed blessed.

Sam Toil April 29, 2014 at 2:09 PM Rick, I could not better express the feelings I have for my wife, Barbara, than what you have written here. When you have found your true soul-mate, there is a completeness of spirit that is beyond words. We are molded into a unified whole, yet we maintain our individuality. I hear you, my friend. And I bless your union. Peace...BH Richard Lamoureux April 29, 2014 at 7:14 PM I am always happy to recieve a blessing, thanks Sam.

Cecilia Macfarlane April 29, 2014 at 1:07 PM Wise thoughts my friend....your appreciation of your special person is amplified in this wonderful write. Hugs Richard Lamoureux April 29, 2014 at 1:10 PM Thanks Cecilia, it may be amplified by loneliness as Mary had been in Vancouver since Saturday. She is bringing our son home from University. They will be back tonight. Horray!

Toquyen Harrell April 29, 2014 at 8:28 AM One has to know who he, she is before he can enjoy it with others. Great write, Rick! So glad for you :) Richard Lamoureux April 29, 2014 at 8:40 AM Thanks Toquyen.
