You Are

To me you are,
so wunderbar.
my mind is clear,
when you are near.

as time has past,
though the world not just,
you still stand strong,
if right or wrong.
and long to guide
as we, side by side,
stay on our path.
and cry and laugh.

the change has come
from rain to sun.
now forty years,
come brand new fears.
some aches and pain,
but you're the same.

you may feel old
but your heart of gold,
it knows the truth
of inner youth.
an open mind
and always kind
you seek to know
for us to grow

all things new,
absorbed by you,
weigh good and bad,
sort happy - sad,
use to our benefit,
if not we learn to deal with it.

up's and down's year by year,
through it, and we're still here.
further more, i have to say:
I'll be with you on our way.
for you I'll be the solid core,
as years go by 'til forty more...

Always Yours!
