With All My Heart
a poem i wrote for my husband when we first met...my one true love
Rated:

Sometimes in life we find the one,
That dries our tears and erases what's done.
A lifetime to search for the key to the heart,
For the one that completes us and brings a new start.

A lifetime of pain and emptiness is found,
When you look inside me while no one's around.
Outside I am strong and can take what is dealt,
But inside I'm weak from the pain I have felt.

I've tried to break free and be on my own,
But it scares me to death to live life alone.
My heart needs love, respect and hope,
But all of the while it gets harder to cope.

I thought it was over, my whole life was through,
But I opened my eyes and then I saw you.
You showed me there is more to this world than the pain,
You helped me to see through the blinding rain.

All of my life I have prayed for the one,
That would bring me the hope before life was done.
I don't know what I'd do, or who I would be,
If you didn't step in, and save me from me.

You may not understand all that you've done,
Or know how or why you have saved this lost one.
I thank you from the very depths of my heart,
Yet one single tear rips me apart.

My fear of losing you and myself again,
Not knowing which way to go makes the heart break begin.
I'm starting to forget the days of my past,
I thank you for this but one thing I do ask.

Let me explain all the tales of my heart,
Before it breaks me and I fall apart.
Just give me a chance to let you know,
All that I feel for you and all that I owe.

My heart is forever grateful to you,
For being so kind and showing me truth.
So again I will thank you from all that I am,
Please don't let your light ever grow dim.
