Masterpiece

for Amanda; the most beautiful woman in the world and the love of my life My words will never come close to expressing how much I love you

Just tired enough to dream,
but my eyes are awake to see
They see what my conscious perceives as reality,
what my mind will not believe

I am the artist who paints the definition of beauty,
to hang on the wall for everyone to see
Each brushstroke of your face is perfect,
and my few shadows added to acknowledge God�s supreme
creativity

I am the sculptor who molds your extravagance in clay.
Your poised statue is the student�s example
impossible to duplicate

I am the musician who composes a symphonic tone
With the perfect rhythms of your voice,
each note has a home
But still after an eternity its paper fails to match your clarity,
your voice is such a sweet solo, all alone

I am the poet who writes your essence in rhyme
The rhythm of your existence and beauty that defies time
Your gentle touch and sweetest kiss,
my words will always fail to describe your elegance

I awaken to daybreak and memories of a dream
Your picture at the bedside isn�t possible,
I must still be asleep
But it�s real and so are you,
how could this be
How is it that you;
one who is so great, wonderful, and beautiful;
be in love with me
How blessed am I that God brought such an Angel into my life
Such gratefulness and faithfulness to love you more and more
each day and night

Luke 10-31-03
