You light up my life with desire to grow,

With feelings of love embedded in my soul.

This brightness I feel lightens the darkest of days,

A treasure of love you give in so many ways.

A glowing of feelings lighting a path to my heart,

Like a journey in time we shared from the start.

This never ending love started before man kind,

Like Adam and Eve and that apple they find.

This Garden of Eden and rib he did give,

Is the starting of life so our love will live.
