A Poem For Joy


Soft is the touch of her hand in mine
Soft is the kiss of her lips on mine
Sweet is her voice that soothes my soul
Sweet is her spirit that helps lift mine
To hold her is to hold an angel
Glad that she wont fly away
When we're apart I feel empty
When we're together I feel whole

Father has chosen one for me and I am glad
I wondered if this would ever happen and it did
No blessing in my life can compare
My greatest blessing is her
So understanding, loving and caring
Compassionate, humble, and sharing

Her bright smile brightens my day
Her gentle touch makes troubles go away
Who else can do this for me?
No one else, only she

I see her spirit shine so bright
So to her I must hang on tight
I love her with al my heart
But every day growing

Her eyes calm as the sea
Can look and see right through me
To the heart and spirit
And sees what I can be

With out her I would be lost
Like a man in the mist
Not knowing which way to go
She is my light in the distance
Showing me gently which way to go

My love for her is more than I can say
And it grows more and more each day
She is my love, my life, my friend
She is the one I can confide in
She is my companion and eternal mate
She is my one and only date
She is my happiness
She is my wife
She is my Joy
