Love Poem: Because of You

Because of You

Because of You by Daniel Henry Rodgers
Because of you- My heart has found its way... At Messiah's halls in a youthful haze, by a bridge made of locust and oak Our hearts were entwined in love and grace. Your blossoming faith illuminated paths I never knew. Rebirth for the first time, my spirit rejoiced. My love, the years have flown like a gentle breeze. Each day with you, a gift beyond compare. Your smile, a balm that sets my heart at ease. Your touch, a comfort sweet and cherished, so very rare. Because of you... I touch the Sun – your warmth in every ray. Fly me to the Moon on love's sweet wings. Walk among the Stars where dreams hold sway... Just the way you are, oh, my heart's pulsating delightful days. My Lady, My Love, in your eyes, so bright and blue, I am a knight in shining armor. To thee, I’ll be true, defending our love through day and night. Let every heartbeat Declare: I... LOVE... YOU! – with all my might! Because of you++ Our journey of forty-two years counts strong and pure. Our three daughters, three sons-in-law, our kin and then. Our granddaughters' laughter, memories secure, for in love and faith, our hearts forever begin to beguine within. Together, you and I will tango through life's grand and challenging chores – for in you, my dear love, I've found life's most precious prize. My blessed wife our love is heavenly eternal – reaching to the boundless shores and endless skies. Because of you... My dearest love my life's a joyous new song… Our love in Christ grows ever truer and forever strong For love lifts us up where we belong and it is all... Because of You! "42"
