A thousand words may miss their mark, yet a glance dutifully plays its part.
A child crawls out of his cradle at your very sight,
The man loses his well-practiced battle without a fight.
Like a wife you become the strength of my spine,
Like a mother you refuse to give in to my cry and whine.
Love finds its true embodiment in your being,
And fails in my expression - whether I dance, write or simply sing!
How brilliant is your sense of equanimity - in moments of sadness as well as joy,
You urge me to grow, even as you compliment my progress and goad me to enjoy!
These words flow out of me in gratitude to your love that comes unasked,
As my tribute to you, my prayer and my self unmasked!
Today, Love found Truth in our hearts!
