My Soulmate

I knew you in a lifetime
A million years ago
And to this day I look at you
And recognize your soul

Your eyes contain a fountain
Of memories I seek
I could search in them forever 
And only glimpse a peek

At the beauty and the wonder
That lives within your heart
The wisdom and the passion
That sets our love apart

I’m thankful everyday 
To have you in my life
I cherish all my time with you
I’m proud to be your wife

Watching as you grow and change
And come to understand
Through learning of life’s lessons
What it means to be a man

I see you with our daughters
And in yet another way
I am struck with adoration
At the courage you display

To them you are a hero
Invincible it’s true
A daddy with unending strength
For that I envy you

I’ll stand by you forever
Through all things good and bad
Reassure you in each moment 
That my love is yours to have

We’ve been together longer 
Than can be measured in mere years
We’ve shared lifetimes full of laughter
Hope and joy and tears

Thank-you for your spirit
Which recognized my heart
Together we are stronger
Our souls shall never part
