For Jan….

I used to think that I would never love again, yet that was before I met you.

Your patience and longsuffering carries the weight of the world for all to view.

And…and your love for me even in my weakest moments is honest and true .

I have often heard you say to me that it was God who sent me your way.

However I think that the opposite that is true , for you see…it is you that creates my day.

You have been there for me in my darkest dreams; you have held me when in terror I scream.

You have watched me softly as I walk along an unknown trail.

Yet through it all; the night and the day, you let me not fail.

I think now of the tenderness of your touch, the way you smile, and our love on nights hush.

Like when we hold hands and just watch the stars in the night sky.

Like when you hold me without a word when for no reason I began to cry.

It is so true when I say that I never thought I could love again.

I guess that I was afraid that I would lose another who I call best friend.

Sometimes I wonder how I deserve two loves both sound and true .

One has gone on to be with Jesus…but now by HIS grace I have you.

So pray tell, why am I so blessed, that God would give unto me two of his best?

Jan…just know as I was always there for she, so shall I be for thee.

I love you…
