Happy Mother's Day

Kat, I don't know how else to say it. I love you. 

WORDS, DON’T FAIL ME NOW

 You’ve been good to me

But now I’m sore afraid

I must say it right

Words, don’t fail me now

 

If I don’t say all

How can she ever know

I’m dying inside to tell

My lips speak but nothing

 

My God! How I’m blessed

No merit could have deserved

A debtor will I be

A work in progress forever

 

The terror should I lose

My treasure buried so deep

She polishes me every day

A tender eye of laughter

 

My rock in tempest sea

I cling with every ounce

Strength with which I scream

Words, don’t fail me now

 

Her smile heats my soul

My heart is locked away

She holds the only key

Safely wraps me in warmth

 

Her beauty unmatched yet savored

A cherub dwells with me

Her light blinds my flaws

The sun pales and hides

 

A scorch upon my mind

A handprint on my heart

Life and breath to me

Seeing her is almost enough

 

A joy to daily wake

Her skin brings me bliss

I must tell her somehow

Words, don’t fail me now

this is really beautiful. Lines I love?
The terror should I lose

Her smile heats my soul

A scorch upon my mind
A handprint on my heart

Nice work. I'll bet Kat feels pretty special. She should, she's a pretty awesome girl.

Well, ain't you quite the poet? I knew you wrote pretty good prose, but poetry too. WOW!
