Words Fail Me

I'm late for Saturday Centus again, but I have a very good excuse, so I hope you'll forgive me. Our friend Jenny gave us 50 extra words to go with the prompt this week, and I have happily used all but one of them. The prompt, as always, is in red.

Words Fail Me

©2011 Susan Noyes Anderson

You are my sunshine in the morning

and my northern star at night.

You’re the clouds that give me warning

when the storm is out of sight.

You are water when my well runs dry,

a breath of clean, fresh air.

You’re the castle in my star-crossed sky,

a blessing and a prayer.

If an ill wind blows my boat too far,

I set my sails for you.

In the dawn of each new day, you are

the sweet, distilling dew.

Every load I bear is lighter

as you lend your strength to mine.

Every song I sing is brighter

when our voices intertwine.

Your music lifts me, fills me up.

My heart stands all amazed.

I honor you; I raise my cup;

I drink you in, quite dazed.

You are my one and only love,

Prince Charming plus; it’s true...

The King of All Clichés, because

I can’t find words for you.
