Eternal Fire

Tami Best

All my life I searched for you–
The man who completes 
my very heart and soul.
For many years I searched to find you
and found a diversion instead.
One that took many years from my search
and blew out the candle fueling the fire inside me.

I gave up my search.
Believing the fire would 
never ignite within me again.
Looking for me, 
the bearer of light–
you came to me.

You ignited the fire
It now burns hotter and brighter 
than I ever thought possible.
Every thought 
of your beautiful smile and gentle touch
brightens the fire within even more
until I can no longer bear the love I feel.

Then you came to me
and I showered you 
with endless love.
The more I give to you,
the more I have to give.

I hope to give you
my love for many, 
many years to come.
Thank you, my love,
for being the light of my life.
For this, 
I will be eternally grateful.
