Today

Today I would move heaven and earth
just to hold you under the bright
sun or the twinkling stars.
Today I would listen to you talk
about anything that is important
to you in your life.
Today I would protect you from
verbal or physical attacks without
thinking of what would happen to me.
Today I look forward when the day
comes when we first meet. It should
be both memorable and magical.
Today I was thinking of you. The
way you smile when you are happy,
and cry when you are sad.
Today I want you to be safe from
harm, to have fun, to gain memories,
and to enjoy each today as it comes.
Today like days past, what I feel
for you will never fade away.
