Words a Mother Never Heard (Wattys2016)

You

You are the sun which lands on my petals

You are the guiding light

You are the smile on my face

You are the stars shining bright at night.

If only you could feel my love

Maybe then your eyes would open and see

You are the love of my life

You are my poetry.

Repeatedly I write down rhymes

Over and over I try

I want to write something powerful enough

That it would make you want to cry.

I want you to feel that feeling

The way just your smile can do to me

Butterflies in my stomach

Left breathless and weak in the knees.

I turn my heart over to you completely

My devotion is all your own

I vow to love you always

You and you alone.

Sometimes when I read how passionate Nichole could be, I get so sad because she never really got the chance to be loved the way she deserved to be loved. Please don't get me wrong, I am so grateful that she got a small taste of that that kind of love before she died, but it was just that, a taste.

I believe with all my heart that Nichole would have made an amazing wife and an incredible mommy. She was filled with so much love and compassion. Those of us closest to her got to experience the depth of her love, and while we all loved her so very deeply, it wasn't the kind of love that I wish she could have experienced.

I wish you all the deepest, strongest love that can be experienced by two people in love. If this kind of love has not yet found you, please don't give up on it. Nichole never did.

If it's not to much to ask, could you please take a moment to vote.
