On meeting and falling in love with my husband 35 years ago


Your Love Took Lonely's Place

When I breathe I enhale you
You are the essence of my space
My very life became true
When I first saw your face
Your spirit touched my being
I came alive in your embrace
My soul began seeing
As my cocoon became space
Your touch freed my mind
I blossomed at your finger trace
The world became kind
Your love took lonely's place

you and dad are still so in love and it shows, you are an example to me, and an inspiration. I see the two of you and know that love does not fade with time, if it is true and real it endures and becomes more beautiful as time goes by. I don't blame you for falling in love with him, he's pretty wonderful.
