Ode To My Better Half
How I knew one fine day
that you were the one?
I searched inside myself, asking...
"Is this indeed true love?
Do I feel the magic of her charms?"
Is her embrace as soft as velvet?"
I asked myself
"Do I feel vulnerable with her? Do I feel...
the squeeze of her hand whenever I hold it?
Is she but God's greatest gift to me?"
You are, my dearest. Your first touch
was a slice of heaven; a telling sign
you captured a piece of my soul..
I wondered...
"Does she reignite my smothered passions?
Does she give me a shoulder to lead on?
Am I lifted up when I fall like timber?"
I asked myself
"Does she break me free when
I find myself caught in the jaws
of life's booby-trap? Does she
show me the way out of dead ends?"
The answer to every question
was yes, my lovely Helen; that's how
I knew you were my soulmate,
the answer to my prayers
