    "WHY I LOVE YOU"

    WHY DO I LOVE YOU?
    YOU SAY
    NOT JUST BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN THERE,
    ALL ALONG THE WAY

    YOU MAKE MY HEART SMILE,
    AND MY PULSE RACE
    I UNDERSTAND YOU WANT TO TAKE THINGS
    AT YOUR OWN PACE

    IT'S JUST THAT YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL
    INSIDE AND OUT
    NO MAN MEASURES UP TO YOU
    WITHOUT A DOUBT

    THEY PROMISE ME MONEY
    MARRIAGE AND DREAMS
    BUT WITH THEM I DON'T WANT
    ANY OF THESE THINGS

    WE'LL HAVE THOSE THINGS
    ONE DAY, YOU'LL SEE
    I REALIZE NOW,
    WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT TO ME

    WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TABLE
    CAN'T BE RATED
    YOUR LOVE FOR ME
    CAN NEVER BE DUPLICATED

    YOU TREAT ME LIKE YOUR VERY OWN QUEEN,
    EVEN WHEN, TO YOU - I'VE BEEN MEAN
    YOU'RE MORE MAN, THAN I THINK YOU KNOW,
    FROM UP CLOSE AND FAR AWAY I'VE WATCHED YOU GROW

    YOU'RE KIND, COMPASSIONATE,
    AND UNDERSTANDING WITH ME
    YOU'RE SENSITIVE, LOVING, SMART,
    AND UNIQUE

    THOUGH, SOMETIMES WE DISAGREE
    YOUR INTELLECT NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME
    YOU ALWAYS ENCOURAGE,
    NEVER DISCOURAGE

    THESE ARE THE QUALITIES
    IN YOU, I SEE
    THAT'S WHY I LOVE YOU,
    AND THIS IS WHERE I WANT TO BE!

    If only i could possess such endearing qualities... i strive to improve myself every day to maybe become worthy of such kind words.

    Beautiful passage young lady

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
