I Stand in Awe- Written on this Day- For Carolina

How do I love thee?
I just can’t count the ways
You bring my days
Alive
I thrive in your presence
Your essence
Has become a part of me
Your beauty
Has penetrated my heart
My love is a paradox
You make me feel
Like both a man and a child
Simultaneously
My soul stands naked and bared
Healing, reeling
I’m almost scared
I’ve never had
This feeling before
And I would never want it to end

Complacency
Is our only enemy
Everything else is our friend
Because we radiate love
Blessed by God above
We are a force for good
We both know
This is our natural course
We both know
We will face what is ahead
Together
We will swear our love in bed
And before all

The last sight I want to see
Before death casts it pall
Is your eyes
Telling me
That’s it okay to go
Then I will know
That we’ve done
All we can
And I can die
A happy man
