Hey heartlings,
Getting to adore you was not a mistake,
Getting to know you was not by chance,
For the love you have was bountiful,
The support you showed was enough,
Brimming enough to put you in my mind,
Not then but forever heartlings.

In the lowest of me you gave me power,
The loneliness I felt you shooed away heartlings,
The sadness I once felt you erased dear ones,
The laughter often hidden you cracked heartlings,
The obstacles I came across you shouldered me through heartlings,
Saying thank you alone is not enough heartlings,
For you deserve the best there is and will be heartlings,
Which to Him He knows the best.

Though we rarely talk or see each other heartlings,
Holding you in my mind and heart has been my pleasure dear ones,
For without you life becomes meaningless heartlings,
Without you the toiling becomes burdensome heartlings,
Without you solitude clothes my being heartlings,
For a second away from thinking about you heartlings,
Is like a lifetime huddle for me heartlings.
