Forsaken Stars

Happy Valentine’s Day!

And now, if you will all indulge me, a poem for my sweetheart:

Ali,

You are my light, you are my strength

I would be lost without you

You are my angel

Whose laugh tickles my soul

And joyous smile

Makes me float

Your shape pleases me to no end

Your goodness comforts me

When I am low

You lift me up

When I am wrong

You set me right

When I feel helpless

You are patient, and present

I am blessed and loved

And I love thee.

–Me
