J.P.G. Poems
Because©

Because of you I
have a reason to wake each day
Because of you my
world is complete
Because of you
there are not enough words to say
Because of you our
home is my retreat
Before I knew you I
didn’t think I’d find
Someone as
wonderful as you that would want to be mine
Someone who would
share my life and time
Someone who cared
for me with my crooked smile and not a dime
Now that we have
each other to depend on each day
The years have
melted as we went along our way
We have seen our
troubles and conquered our fears
We have laughed
with our friends and shared some tears.
But thru it all I
must say without regret
You are the only
one for me and on that I will bet
No other can
replace your space in my heart
I love you more
now, even more than from the start.
Love is a funny
thing it is fleeting at best
But when you find
true love it comes to rest
And in my heart you
will forever stay
For my love for you
grows more with each passing day.
