Soulmate

If I should proclaim one thing giving me purpose For each new day inspiring heart, ennobling the mind Stirring flesh to passion and Muse to joyous praise, It would be you, beloved, so beautiful and intelligent. You are my soulmate, royal and precious to my heart Bedazzling, heroic companion, lover and confidant Reason for me seeing God in his glory everywhere. You are the beat of my heart, supporting and encouraging Never rebuking, irremovable, bold and resolute at my side Love overwhelming through good and bad times. When my steps falter and I fall prey to the black dog You pick carry me onwards until my confidence returns Through darkness to welcome light at the storm's end Where all is quiet and peaceful and love flourishes bright.
