Most see him with their eyes,
never knowing what is really there.
If only they could see what I see...
I see the eyes that look upon me
as if I am all there is.
I see the hands that
wipe away my tears.
I see the shoulders that
carry the cares of the world.
I see the arms that hold me up
when I can no longer stand.
But the largest part of him
is truely hidden from the world;
his heart as large as the great outdoors,
just as wild, and just as fierce.
His spirit cannot be tamed,
nor would I wish it to be.
For his love is all I need,
and all he needs is me.

Sassy and sweet
"His spirit cannot be tamed,
nor would I wish it to be." - accepting someone AND appreciating that they are unique. Too many people try or expect thier partners to change. This was a nice "celebration" write about your love. Good job.

Awww I like this! Its short and sweet too, which makes you want to re-read it over and over using difference perspectives to fit with the same words. I like it!
