Our Commitment

The sensation of her fingertips
Gently touching my hardened face
The taste of her tender lips
Memories I can't erase
Soft touch all over my skin
Her body I to explored
Her passion burned from within
As her key opened my hearts door

So many moments that we shared
Over time our love deeply grew
Emotional boundaries that we dared
My deepest secrets only she knew
We tried new things together
Expanding experiences from our past
Forging our relationship to last forever
Everything about us was meant to last

At times when I was at my lowest
Distraught, vulnerable and open
She would always help me focus
And keep me from feeling broken
Without words our eyes would meet
Speaking volumes of silent words
Without her I'm incomplete
Remembering the day this occurred

Pain, fatigue and sudden weight loss
Trouble swallowing with a fever
Concern was fueling a million thoughts
By her side I would never leave her
Two years ago on valentines day
We got back from her appointment
Test results just a few days away
Of cancer and our disappointment

My unwavering faith would never erode
Despite the suffering she'd endure
The journey ahead a challenging road
Praying her doctors would find a cure
Stains of time and challenges of life
Our commitment they are testing
But she will always be my wife
My love, and an eternal blessing
