Mere Words

I searched among the card displays,To see if I could find,A little something that would sayJust what was on my mind.However there was not a one,That captured it just right,For no one else can understandJust what I'd like to write.I even find it difficultTo try to write it down,For how do I portray to you,The love that I have known?I close my eyes and what I see,Is someone I adore;A person who is beautiful,Right down into their soul.Mere words cannot describeThe many qualities you show,The love and caring nature thatYou share with those who know.Your kind and gentle temperament,Your sweet angelic smile,Your softly spoken sentiments,That reach across the miles.Your smile and laugh that sparkle withThe softness of your sighs,The way your face lights up a room ...That twinkle in your eye.The loving gestures through the years,That quickly come to mind,For always you've a gentle wordTo calm and soothe I find.I struggle and I search to tryTo find some words anew ...And yet I cannot captureAll the things that make you you.I shall therefore, be satisfiedThat you must simply know,Just how I feel about you,For with words I cannot show.
