Ties

my light in the world,

my heartbeat,

sunlight in the skies,

ice in the mountains,

flowers in spring,

the wind whistling through the trees,

rain on my window,

the glow of the fireplace,

music to my ears,

the apple of my eye,

the taste on the lips,

the song of my day,

the stars at night,

My words of eternal love,

my strength when I am weak,

the center of my life,

the joy of all my senses,

the cries of a million crickets,

the waves unto the shore,

your touch on my face,

the words on the pages forgotten,

memories of eternal friendship,

a thread to keep everything together.
