How Strong My Love Is Burning For You

It began as all fires do
A spark soon ignited into a blaze of warmth
Of colorful delight
You held my hand, Megels
Became my friend
Earned my trust
My future once again looked bright

Loneliness turned to hope
Emptiness filled up with dreams
Hunger was satisfied
Darkness lit by love's moonbeams

Tears no longer hit the ground
They fell on your loving shoulder
I felt younger
As our love grew older

When sorrow leaves me wilted as a sun-parched rose
Your comfort is a river that flows
The sun's light, the morning dew
They are all the beauty that is you, darlin

Your strength is as the oak
It is my need you bend like the willow
My heart is filled
Like a lucky sail with wind to billow

Harsh cold winters
Wet springs, blissful summer heart, fall of time
They'll weather my spirit
With grace and peace, your hand in mine

Love's sweet reflection
Laughing, growing, thriving, learning
Words cannot express what my heart feels
How strong my love is burning for you Megels

The lines of age will etch their mark on us
And time will take the strength from our bodies
But love's brush will paint for us a picture of such beauty
That a hundred lifetimes could not remove their glory

Missing you so very much
Sending my love to all of your dreams
Hoping one night it hears them
And your dreams are full of our memories
What we could be

I will be here waiting for that dream
The one dream I never want to wake from
Miss you darlin

Always

Love, Your Edward
