My Forever Love

It took me some time to write this poem, but it finally arrived. It’s dedicated to my beautiful wife, an extroverted soul who completes me in every way. Words, whether written or spoken, are not enough to describe the love I feel for her. It has been a little over 30 years since I first saw her, and my life changed forever.

Este poema es para ti, mi amor. 

My Forever Love

My eyes met your beauty, your radiant soul,

In a world of science and innocent discoveries.

My heart, once quiet, was suddenly stirred,

In that moment, I fell madly in love.

Your beauty, a perfect fusion of our rich heritage,

Shines through effortlessly, warming everything within reach.

In you, I’ve found true love,
Love that gives freely and fills my heart deeply.

I can't imagine a life without you,
Incomplete, without purpose, bare.

Seeing your face each day,

Sparks life within my introverted soul.

Your beauty, more radiant as time unfolds,
More than what's seen, it’s the heart you hold.
With every chapter life has shown,
You shine brighter, full of grace.

From our love, a beautiful soul emerged,

A little of both of us, but the best parts from you,

Compassionate, loving, and endlessly kind,

The finest qualities a heart can hold true.

You’re still as beautiful as the first day,

Though three decades have gone by.

Same energy, same love, same you,

Perfect complement to an imperfect soul.

In all my flaws, you make me whole;

In you, I’ve found my true self, my love.

  22. What a beautiful poem and gorgeous photo of you both. Bless you both for being the loving people you are and for being a wonderful example for others. My true love and I will be celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary this year. There’ve been a few people who’ve told me they don’t believe in love, and I find that so sad. My husband has told our grandchildren, “Anyone who doesn’t believe in love, is missing out on the most amazing thing.”
