When first we met, you smiled,
Meaning transparent, sincere.
No spoken word was shared,
Yet missive loud and clear.
The pain that once possessed you,
Now gone, your heart is free.
Strength became your lover,
Wisdom your soul’s key.
Today we stand together,
As one we do unite,
Facing our new tomorrow,
We walk in greater light.
Let those who would assail us,
Their poisons once to spread,
Confront their own illusions,
Confined within their dread.
With no impure thoughts to impede us,
Choices our only guide,
Love must be our power,
Hatred never to abide.
For our love of one another,
Warmly, as we nourish,
Will one day rise above,
Our spirits ever flourish.
Your love my inspiration,
Our power beyond compare,
Bonds of devotion strengthened,
Hearts eternally care.
What voice may raise in protest,
What words beset our day?
You never said I love you,
Yet proved it in every way!
