My Ode to 
                                You 
                                   
                                I've 
                                started perhaps a dozen poems  
                                
                                And seem 
                                to get stumped right away  
                                
                                There 
                                always seems to be so much  
                                
                                That I 
                                feel I want to say  
                                
                                
                                   
                                
                                Where do 
                                I start? I ask myself  
                                
                                As my 
                                mind wanders over the years  
                                
                                And 
                                before I know it, once again  
                                
                                I find 
                                myself in tears  
                                
                                   
                                
                                We are 
                                such special people  
                                
                                On that 
                                we both agree  
                                
                                Without a 
                                doubt, there is  
                                
                                No one 
                                exactly like us ... you and me  
                                
                                
                                   
                                
                                Im so 
                                grateful for what I have with you 
                                 
                                
                                Crumbs, 
                                some would probably say  
                                
                                But I 
                                know that I carry deep in my heart 
                                 
                                
                                The 
                                epitome of love each day  
                                
                                   
                                
                                I've 
                                heard it said that only once  
                                
                                Does a 
                                love like this come along  
                                
                                How sad 
                                it is to realize that 
                                
                                Not all 
                                are privileged to "sing" this song 
                                 
                                
                                
                                   
                                
                                So what 
                                can I write in a poem to you  
                                
                                That 
                                would touch your heart in a special way? 
                                 
                                
                                I know!  
                                I would like to say that my love for you 
                                
                                Will last 
                                forever ... plus one day!  
                                
                                
                                   
                                
                                So there 
                                you are, my Precious Love  
                                
                                These 
                                words come straight from my heart 
                                 
                                
                                The same 
                                heart that is one with yours  
                                
                                That 
                                keeps us together although we are ... apart
