I cherish you my love

I cherish you my love
I cherish your gentle countenance
I cherish the way you look
when you softly smile at me
I cherish the way you tenderly
glance my way
when I feel myself sinking into
the very depth of your being.

I cherish your compassionate
expression
So very soothing to my
temperament
I cherish the safety I feel in
your strong arms
where I feel protected for life
I cherish the way you intoxicate
my senses
Silent, strong, ever radiant.
I cherish the way you talk to me
Sometimes carefree. Sometimes
caring.

No matter if you felt short of
others expectations of you
For me, you were God-sent
To lift me out of my miseries
Into a world of self-worth and
acceptance
for in such a short time
you did all this and more.
I cherish you my love for all that.

Beyond what words can express
Beyond what anyone can
understand
And so I thank God for sending
you to me
Even if for a short while.
