Love (2011 Poem)
White as a rose with a little red nose
Sweet as candy and he's a handyman
Brown eyes like caramel, beautiful as a Clear blue marble that sparkle like the sun Setting on the sea.

A smile as bright as anyone can see.
Personality as nice as his voice and when He sings, I know I'm not hearing any noise.

His hands are as soft as baby feet
His laugh makes me smile, it's really neat.
His hug makes me feel at home, like the sound of his voice when we're all alone.

I love how he walks with his hands in his pockets, how he plays his guitar and it goes straight to my locket close to my heart.

How I look into his eyes as we talk, I know I'd rather be there than anywhere else, because when I'm with him I feel like I'm ringing the bells.

He understands me when no one else can,
Like the wind through my hair as I ran.

I love the sound as we're riding in his car, the Christian music, I always want to hear more. He makes me laugh when I feel sad.

As I watch him and the guys play football, it amazes me to see you dodge the ball.

His eyes, his smile burn inside of me, like the start of my heart as he begins to sing. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else besides me here with him, because my whole world brightens when he enters the room.

Heaven took him home and I cried and cried because the person that makes my life seem so real, the person who made love true, is forever gone and a day too.

One day I'll see you again and that'll be when my joy can't be contained. We'll laugh and cry while sharing old stories, then I'll remind you of the time on Earth where we shared all the glory.

Right now I'm waiting for the right time, to walk through the gates of Heaven and finally tell you, I love you.
