Mere Words

I searched among the card displays,To see if I could find,
A little something that would say,Just what was on my mind.

However there was not a one,That captured it just right,
For no one else can understand,Just what I'd like to write.

I even find it difficult;To try to write it down,
For how do I portray to you,The love that I have known?

I close my eyes and what I see,Is someone I adore;
A person who is so true,Right down into their soul.

Mere words cannot describe;The many qualities you show,
The love and caring nature that,You share with those who know.

Your kind and gentle temperament,Your sweet angelic smile,
Your softly spoken sentiments,That reach across the miles.

Your smile and laugh that sparkle with;The softness of your sighs,
That twinkle in your eye.

The loving gestures through the years,That quickly come to mind,
For always you've a gentle word;To calm and soothe I find.

I struggle and I search to try,To find some words anew ...
And yet I cannot capture,All the things that make you you.

I shall therefore, be satisfied,That you must simply know,
Just how I feel about you,For with words I cannot show.
