All these thoughts within my heart
are of all the reasons I give to you my love,
When the nights are cold and dark,
When no stars give light to the sky above,
All these thoughts I think every day,
are all the hopes and dreams for which I pray.
That like the dawning day you come back to me,
not just in my dreams but in reality.
My love for you is the rising sun
and it will stay with me when the day is done.
I will not care if the night goes on forever
if I know that you and I will be together
If strength can be found to face the trials of life,
with trust, respect, and friendship, I as your wife.
Love notes: age 18
