I dreamed of a man with a smile
That could light up the world.
With a voice that could stop
A mob in its tracks.
With words that could bring
Injustice to tears...
He had a gaze so intense
It could break the moon.
When he looked into my eyes
He could see all the way down
To my soul.
He knew exactly how to touch me
And just how long he could
Hold me
Before I pulled away.
His faith in God walked so boldly
Before him
That sometimes God was all
I could see.
Yet he was kind, compassionate
And did not judge.
He was peaceful because he
Wanted to be
But would hold his own if ever
And when ever
He had to.
He was consistent, loving and faithful,
And peace and beauty surrounded us
Whenever we were together.
This man's strength was only
Surpassed by his wisdom,
And appreciation for things
From the heart.
He was, in fact, all heart.
He felt things in his
Nervous system
And acted them out
From his soul.
From the time that I met him,
From the very day
That he first looked into my eyes –
I knew that we would hold each other down
Forever.
And there was absolutely
Nothing
Either of us could do about it.
