She Taught Me

She taught me how to love again and that it’s ok to cry.
She taught me how to laugh again all i had to do is try. 
 
 
She reminds me of my child like memories when i use to run and play.
And that the future isn’t dark and bleak but it brings a brighter day. 
 
 
She helps relief the burden that has been place upon shoulders. 
Within her love comes my strength that helps me move life’s boulders.
 
 
In the game of life I’m just player who's tired of all the games. 
But until i met my one true love i was an arrow with no aim. 
 
 
We often wish the book of life would spread its pages wide. 
So we can know our destiny from what we learn inside.
 
 
But this will never happen we were only meant to scan.
Our pattern of existence in a shorter smaller span.
 
 
But if we make each hour of every single day 
Important and fulfilling in some a very special way.
 
 
We are sure to have a resevoir of untapped energy 
To meet tomorrows challenges whatever that maybe.
 
 
So i ask of you to just love me as i will always love ruby:)
