TOAST
OF FOREVER
BY:
Josh Mertens
You're
the one I can't live without.
This fact is true, I have no doubt.
I love the way you smile at me.
I love the way together we're free.
You may be strange and slightly loony,
But all this means nothing to me,
Because you are who you are,
And I can see your beauty
Inside and out,
Which is what threw me.
When every day I see you,
Till then I cannot wait.
To know what we will go through
Is in the hands of fate.
The first time that I saw you,
I knew I must steal your heart.
I hope that it's mine forever
And that we never do part.
You are the one I love the most,
And to this here fact, I propose a toast;
May we grow old and still have fun,
Because I love you and my heart you've won.

That is a wonderful toast..

ReplyDeleteDear Jo-Anne, how wonderful to have someone say that to his or her beloved. It's a true benediction. Peace.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful expression of love to a love one. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteDearest Jo-Anne,
ReplyDeleteNice poem by Josh Mertens, a typical Dutch surname that we had in my home town!
All of us could write a similar poem and it is the bond between two people that tightens over time and knows a depth with no end.
Nothing like romance but true love and support till the end.
Hugs,
Mariette
