Poem For You, Travis, my sweet love, Happy Anniversary...
Oh...If I never knew you I would not know all this pain,
joy would be my friend,
my heart would be whole, not broken and crushed,
I would not drink my tears only to shed them again,
If I never knew you, sorrow would not be the only garment I wear
But...If I never knew you, my eyes would have never gazed into your eyes and seen my reflection there,
I would never have seen your face and the smile I would love forever,
I would never hear your voice, that would become my music,
If I never knew you, I would never feel your touch, so warm, so safe, the only food I would really ever need.
Yes...If I never knew you
my heart would not be
heavy with grief,
it would not ache
with longing
to see you,
for you to look into my eyes and see yourself there,
to see you smile at me,
to hear you say, "i love you",
to feel you, hold you, have you hold me, and feel safe and warm and loved once again.
If I never knew you, I would have missed the chance to learn the precious meaning of Life... of Love...of God.
