Love Letter Poem by Donald R Wolff JR

It is my heart that sings for you
It is my life I give
You are my precious treasure
It is for you I live

The days are but a moment
Time where years must pass
Knowing how I love you
Will move the decades way too fast

You, my love, bring thoughts when I drink your beauty
Of someday when our love must end
When time takes away our life
Will our story still be read

Wake me by the river
When my eyes see forever pass
Let me gaze upon your beauty
In the silence of our rest

My love for you is always
Time is not the end
If I can find you, in here after
A new story can begin

I hope that love will be the beacon
For I know I love you so
Believe in me, my darling
Together, we will never be alone

There are no poems for your perfection
You are the joy within my eyes
I love you, dear, forever
So much more than words describe

Should your light go out before me
My days will become longer than the years
Though my smile will always be, for love's memory
It shall also hide my tears

Tell me you'll still love me
Beyond the mortal grave
And I shall promise you forever
Our love will find a way
