A year ago today

We first met a year ago
After much pain; sorrow
Now I've found my love 
At last a treasure trove
Has opened up for me
For it is now I truly see
A blessing you've become
Like a brightly burning sun
My soul lights up with you
Beside me all the way
Ah; what more can I say?
I am thankful for each day
Each conversation we have had
Each sharing of our thoughts; glad
Has opened up my heart; my mind
You are so wonderful; so kind
No longer am I a lost little soul
For in loving you I've found my goal
My happiness I have found within
Your strong loving arms; warm skin
Next to mine; your understanding heart
Acceptance; peace; serenity you impart
Never could I love another 
As I have grown to love you
