My Love

Eager as a golden retriever,

funny as a circus band.

Intelligent as an octopus,

sensitive as shifting sands.

Blue-grey eyes of cloudy skies,

Hair of ground-up coffee beans.

Passion of a piano player,

manners of an elder queen.

Shyness of a seaside snail,

nervous as a shaking leaf.

Clever as a fortune teller,

creative as a coral reef.

Alluring as a hidden geode,

stubborn as the winter snow.

Compassionate as a caring friend,

Dramatic as a theater show.

Confidence of a wilted flower,

Elegant as a silver spoon.

Kindness of a teddy bear,

romantic as a shining moon.

In all these traits I wish you’d see,

the admirable woman you are to me.

I see you true for who you are,

my beautiful, bright, and shining star.
