You Made For Me - Poem

[agburns84]

You Made For Me

 

You made for me a house,

Not of brick nor stone,

But one of tender love,

Which will never stand alone.

 

You made for me a downstairs room,

Not just for tables and chairs,

But a haven for us to reside,

A place to treasure and share

 

You made for me a mirror,

Not simply to hang on the wall,

But to reflect the eternal harmony,

Of a love that still stands tall.

.

You made for me an upstairs attic,

Not a site for dust or spiders to nest,

But for a collection of lifetime memories,

And albums and photos to rest.

 

You made for me a fireplace,

Not only a flickering of flames,

But a glow that ignites our hearts,

A burning passion that still remains.

 

You made for me a nearby river,

Not merely a running stream,

But a sanctuary for us to enjoy,

Swimming in a world of hopes and dreams.

 

You made for me a lasting love,

Not one which time can wash away,

But a bond that I hope shall always be,

Until my dying day.
