True Love

If I could
I would
Walk a million miles
Just to get a glimpse of your smile.
Every night before I go to bed I say a little prayer
Please keep this man of mine safe and never let him feel despair,
But if he has to feel that pain or have sorrow one day
Please give me strength too, and the right comforting words to say.
You see I would do anything to protect him from harm,
To shield his eyes from anything that might be of alarm
I would take a bullet without even thinking twice.
I would do anything to keep him safe, no matter the price.
My body is but a shield, full of instincts and intuition
I’m here to protect the ones I love. That’s my mission.
I finally realized it on our wedding day, almost one year ago.
I saw how you always smiled; you had this special glow,
That day I knew my life would never be the same
The day I let my go of my parents hands and took your last name.
I am now a wife, someday a mother.
Never will I love or cherish any other
In the same way that I love this man
I think that I’ve now become his biggest fan
I’ve seen him at his worse and at his best
But all I know is that, no matter what, I’m so very blessed.
To be able to hold his hand and kiss his lips everyday,
And I will always make sure he is safe, secure and loved in every way.
I love him and I always will make sure he knows that
He’s changed my life. This man is my better half, also known as Matt :)
