My Love is Close

"...We never appear to be separated/ By distance or time" - a love poem for my sweetheart.

The truest gift and blessing
That God has ever bestowed –
I am truly close to you, as you are towards me.

We never appear to be separated
By distance or time,
A passionate and blessed feeling
That is so implacable
And so completely wondrous.

Based upon a singular trust and unabashed willfulness,
We strive to become ever closer,
A oneness that few souls on Earth
Have ever witnessed,
And the most gifted and cherished love.

Sweetheart, may we look forward
To many more glorious and happy years
In each other’s compassionate and warm embrace.
