She lives to be,

in happiness,

everything to everyone,

believing in some, defending most,

and fearing for all, but one.

Giving to the last,

she asks for nothing.

Truly, she is blessed

as am I to be

in her company.

My responsibility and my joy,

she is the reason I am

no more concerned

with what could have been,

but what shall be.

Rather, looking forward,

we face the world together

without trepidation.

Awaiting the day,

two become one.

My Love,

hand in hand,

fear flees away

as my Helen lifts me up

to face the coming day.
