To Jim, with love.

by Racquel Foran

Forever

In all ways

No matter what you do

I’ll always love you,

I’ll always love you.

You’re the sun

The moon

The stars in my sky

You’re the reason why

I never want to die.

You’re the hop

The skip

The twirl in my step

My heart leapt

The moment that we met.

Your smile

Your eyes

The way you look at me

Helped me to see

All that I could be.

Your face

Your embrace

The comfort of your arms

Left me feeling disarmed

But protected me from harm.

A glance

A whiff

It doesn’t take much

To recall the rush

Of the pleasure of your touch.

Every day

Every night

I say thanks for you

For all that you do

And what we have survived through.

Your smarts

Your heart

Your confident stride

Splits my heart wide

And fills me with pride.

Time will pass

We will age

But my love for you is pure

For eternity it will endure

Of these things I am sure.

Forever

In all ways

No matter what you do

I’ll always love you

I’ll always love you.
