I'm Amazed, from "A to J"

I'm amazed, that I will never know the heartache of disillusionment
like when someone knows the other's been dishonest,
and I can't explain the feelings that I know, right now
makes me wonder if I'm being put to the "test".

For in our short three years, and counting
you've never been unreasonable, or lie...
cosequently, I have great faith in you to be honest
because you'd never steer me wrong, or make me cry.

How is it, that I even deserve your perfect temperment ?
Whatever task I performed, I've been greatly overpaid,
I couldn't have asked for more blessings, in a life-time
to be without you, makes me most afraid.

You complete the very part of me that's attractive, to you
and when I'm with you, all "drama" fades away,
with your spirit, I can handle any circumstances
and in my heart of hearts, you're with me all the way.

Soon, before we stroll together through eternity
we share our footprints on this earth, to make us strong...
I'm so proud to take my place, right beside you
for 'tis you alone, who has taught me "love's sweet song".

I wish it were I....

...in the poem, but alas...I am but a lonely poet. At least I've got Opie Taylor and Eight-ball Johnson...my cats ! As I said in my first reply, it was a favor for a friend. They're a lovely couple, going through some difficult times.....well, heck ! We do what ever we can to ease the sorrows, eh ? Thanks again, for the generous remark. "Write on"! sincerely, #{:-{)}8==== docmaverick.

You have that way....

...of saying sooo much, with the smallest quantity of words, possible.....so THIS comment was extra special. You have a keen "grip" on the language of the poets, so Thanks, Press. "Write on"! sincerely, #{:-{)}8==== docmaverick.
