You are a wonderful constant in my life Like the sun rises and sets each day I can count on your love and Support like no other. The sounds of your laughter Your voice on the phone Are like comfortable reminders  Of our lives together. Like a tree planted long ago Which has grown from a seedling  Into a source of shade. When it rains, you are like my umbrella Forever there to protect and guide me When it's sunny, you are there to rejoice In the light of love that ties us. Like a best friend You love me without judgment And you listen with patience  And understanding Beautiful Poetry © Ellen M.DuBois 2002
