The other day
Someone asked me
To describe you
in one word

ONE WORD!!!

How can I possibly do that?!?

Just speaking your name
Puts a million
words on my tongue

Marvelous, exquisite, miracle

Comforting, kind, joyful

Exciting, beautiful, humorous

Protector, shield, rock

Helper, encourager, playmate

Sunshine, guild, friend

So you see
one word
is just not enough

Lying in bed one night with words running through my head. Decided to write them down. This is what it turned into.
