I love you more than the sun,
more than the rain,
more than air getting crisp
in the fall. I love you
more than them all.
I love you more
than the cricket in the weeds,
more than the craggy keep
on the shore. Above them all,
I love you more.
More than the wind
that lifts the birds from the sea.
More than the shelter
of a willow tree.
More than the stars
that kiss me goodnight.
More than a novel
by candlelight.
I love you more than my joy,
more than my sorrow,
more than my todays,
and all my tomorrows.
I carry you in my heart
even when I’m alone.
May our souls never part
from this place we call
home.
