My poem to the One I love,

I want to paint a picture of what a wonderful person you truly are,
how I have searched for you and wished you here upon a fallen star.
How your big heart warmed me up when the world was cold,
I'll sketch you beside me on the porch-swing when I'm old.
 I 'll paint a portrait of happiness, full of passion and tenderness,
how you tell me I'm beautiful even when I feel like a mess!
With little brush strokes I'll highlight the many things we do,
how my world now rotates around me and you.
I would mix the colours of sunshine and warmth,
to highlight my most treasured times in your arms.
I'm not a poet, I'm not an artist but one thing is true,
even Picasso couldn't paint the love I feel for you!
