You Are

You are the air that I breathe
You are the warmth that I need
You are my shelter from the storm
You are my strength when I am worn
You are the place I call home
No matter where I roam
You will see me through
In no matter what I do
You are the love of my life
I am so happy to be your wife
You are my heart and soul
You are all that I know


Baby, we were meant to be
Baby don't you see
Within you within me
Here lies our destiny

BAM!!!you hit the nail on the head with this piece! the rhyming was terrific and the message was great. but Don't be there when he reads it. it's better to think of a guy tearing up than to see one in person. great job. yours John Henry Loving III

How wonderful to have a love who fulfills all of your needs -- someone upon whom you can count whenever you need "shelter from the storm" of life. Beautifully penned, Phyllis! Love, Carolyn
