My Journey

My Journey

When we first met, my life was full of contradictions.

I was drowning in the quicksand that held my emotions.

You reached your hand out to me and held me aloft.

And with caring and support, you helped me to climb to safety.

Your smile nurtured me as I healed.

Your laughter encouraged me to continue on.

Your hand held fast to mine as I sought my own path.

You offered me your friendship as I battled to find my own way.

And your patience never failed to be there as I healed.

And when the healing was done, your love was still there.

Still waiting to embrace me. Still there to hold me close.

Still part of my present and my future. And still so very true and certain.

Your presence is with me every moment of my day.

When we're talking, when we're not.

When I can see your face and when my mind's eye views it for me.

When I hear your voice and when my memory brings a smile with the thought of you.

My soul mate... My Imzadi... My split apart... My journey's beginning and end lies with you.
