Run For the Roses

You are the joy of my heart and my life.
Of all who are close to me 
it's you that touches me 
and connects in the most special way. 
Simple, Pure and Great.

When I die and God opens my heart, 
to reveal the things I treasure the most, 
you will be there.
I can't take a breath 
that doesn't love and reverence you.

You are my Thoroughbred. 
The most beautiful, graceful, thoughtful and loyal.
I care enough to worry for you.

Your brightness is like the sun's rays 
and your love and attention 
heal and make me whole. 
I'm greatly appreciative, to God, 
for keeping love and kindness in your heart 
and a soft spot for me.

Without you,
love might have escaped and fled me, 
until I became nothing.
You give me purpose 
and a life worth living.
I'm confident in your ways 
and the wisdom in your head.
When I need to smile I think of you 
and when I think of you, 
I can fly.

There is nothing in the world 
that can separate my love for you. 
And there is nothing else that I'd rather keep. 
I would gladly die for you in a single heartbeat, 
just to keep you safe. 
If I have to choose between you being safe 
and me being condemned for eternity,
then you will live.

I am grateful that you love me 
and I never want to be without you. 
You are the embodiment of all that I love and hope for. 
You are the child of my heart.
