How Long How Far Poem by John Leroy Maxwell

Meeting you has made me so very happy,
at present I'm walking on cloud nine..
Seeing you lightens my heart, that in
the night, when dreams appear, it's you
that makes the stars shine, and you that
wakes the sun in the 'morn in time to
greet a new day..
Being with you brings me happiness here,
and all around..
How long were you waiting to be found..
Soon you will be leaving; I wish I could
reach out across the miles of space that
separates us, just to touch your face..
And I wish my eyes could see as far as I
would need, to read your eyes, to once again
see your beauty, already engraved in my mind..
It doesn't really matter, because my heart
is big enough, is strong enough, to reach out
and touch you..
To shorten any distance, wherever you might be..
