Because I Love You

Because I Love You

I knew the first time I beheld your smile

I knew the first time I heard you laugh

I knew the first time I heard you commune

with the Most High,

that we were meant to be together.

What a road its been.

More ups than down I surmise

but I'm glad that we're together 

weathering those storms and 

strengthened by it.

I think of those lost and forget when

I see my blessings before me.

Its not a forlorn existence but 

a meaningful overflow,

that together we've brought into being.

Decades may pass, but the memories 

are fresh, like yesterday.

How can I live without you.  I can't.

I'm sure I would die not knowing what to do.

'Cos you're my sextant when my 

fossil fire dies.

My water in the desert.

Sparkling diamonds in the grass

after the snow raising my spirit.

Everyone is not abundantly blessed as I am

to have someone as you.

As you celebrate this milestone, I am here

and glad to have you with me

on the road oft' traveled.  Ne'er alone 'cos

I love you ever and 

always. 

Together, we'll leave a legacy

and our footprints.

That's who we are.

Jason Dhanapalan

Your loving husband
