The Essence of His Love
The comfort of his embrace
Makes me smile so.
My head rests on his chest
As he reaches around me.
Strong and gentle hands
Capture the very essence
Of his true nature.
He imbues a warm and inviting
Personality that shines
As bright as the stars.
Heeding paternal wisdom,
Chivalrous manners
Denotes an upbringing of
A true gentleman.
An abundance of
Unconditional love
Flows freely from him.
An ever continuous outpouring of
Spiritual and emotional well being.
It’s the kind of love that
Plants itself like a seed
Inside your soul and nourishes
You as it grows.
Truly this blessing
I accept with open arms
And a humbled heart.
No second thoughts or wants
Growth only occurs in one direction.
Together.
To put it in perspective it’s
Like a tree that blossoms
As it branches out and
Reaches for the sky.
His roots are the strength
Of his foundation,
His trunk an anchor of support,
Each branch a helping hand
And every leaf a depiction
Of his rare and beautiful core.
With each sunrise that comes
And every sunset that goes
I pray this love remains
Within us for all eternity.
