Let me offer some hard-learned advice,
About struggle and sacrifice.
No matter how strong you are,
One day you will think twice,
And denounce every scar.
“Life is not worth living anymore”,
You will say…but you must endure!
For those few precious moments…
Of joyfulness…so pure.
Life’s in the experience,
So fight on with great valor!

Your presence brings me so much joy.
The smile on your face.
The stars in your eyes.
I can not place,
Such a prize.
You are my life and my meaning.
I wake to greet you.
Each day is a gift,
When spent with you;
And loads lift.
With you, time no longer exists.
It stands still,…waiting,
For moments to pass;
While the world moves on, debating,
Time’s length and mass,…
Which I feel justified stating,…
Is endless, with you.
