To the Woman I Love Most

From the day we met, she kissed me
She held me in her perfect way
With a warmth that even the sun could not provide
I felt wanted, loved and alive

Her affection was never measured out 
Nor with held but given as a gift more precious than gold
I could not to this day find any fault in her
No matter how hard I tried, her smile was her seal of perfection

She was an artist at everything she did for me
And the picture she painted with caring and passion
Is a place I remember and dearly miss
My world was her purpose, my success her happiness

I remember she knelt before me as if to worshiped me 
And I think in her way she did
She bathed me and spoke words coated with honey
I have never felt so secure and safe when I was with her

If only I could have the power to feel her tender ways once more 
I know I would be complete until the end of my days
For she is an irreplaceable  treasure 
A woman I cannot find in any other or compare her qualities

All I can say now is Thank you Lord for this angel I met
And I know I will see her again.
Thank you for….
My Mum

wow, at first I thought it was a wife, and then toward the end I realized.... what a great tribute! As for swimming with dolphins, I had the chance to do it when I was on my ONE cruise I ever took in 2000.but silly CHEAP me, I paid half price only to pet one of them. I looked with great longing over at the other side where a few lucky souls were swimming with the dolphins. Sometimes I really screw up!
