I always knew
that you would find me,
no clock needed to remind
me that it would happen.
I planned on it, worked it out
hid in plain sight every day
knowing you would pass,
that way or this, come along,
go by, pause in moving to
here or somewhere; near or
far it did not matter. You would arrive.
It kept the heart
alive and thriving in the clatter
of times' travel to know
that you would turn and see me
then not turn away.You here
or coming, unraveling the puzzle,
kept me whole and safe
and driving on toward this day.
When the evenings, like forever,
started fleeting, going fast
I could see you at some distance
disappearing in the mist.
In the mass of fondled faces
one imagines in a lifetime
yours was there just out of grasp.
As you fluttered in my future,
fled throughout my lifelong past
I expected every spring to bring you
to my arms, to my side. When
the autumns started coming thick
and firm and fast, I never once
gave up believing you'd arrive
with winters passing, you would be here
Did I falter in my faith? Once or twice
perhaps, but never long enough
to leave you languishing in some
dream that wasn't mine. Because
I always knew that you would
find me.
I was blessed
with growing knowledge, something
whispered do not worry, it will
happen, it's been planned. Nothing
here is happenstance. Do not hurry.
Do not pause to catch your breath.
For I paved, paths unpaved.
The rest of what I have to offer, little
things this life's amassed; for you,
for you, it was for you I saved the best for
last
If only I could be your shining star,
and all your wishes were made on me.
Your dreams for love would come true,
as with you, is where I want to be.
If you'd place the star against your heart,
you'd feel the love that flows from mine.
Our hearts would bond together as one,
and our love would beat forever in time.
So when you look up into the night sky,
know the shiniest star you see is me.
Waiting with all my heart for you to wish,
for everything that I believe we could be.
~My Darling I am so grateful
For all the love you give
It shows to me the sunsets
The peace of hearts that live
The clouds up in the heavens
The skies so perfect blue
When I see nature's beauty
My thoughts belong to you
You're the mighty oak to shade me
The velvet grass I roam
The flowers of the mountains
With fragrances unknown
You live within my being
You're every part of me
Through summer fall and winter
My spring eternally
Warm breezes to invite me
To feel the freshest air
Clear waters to refresh me
A mountain's beauty rare
You are my gift of heaven
In magnificence you glow
You fill me with your beauty
These treasures you bestow.~
