In every moment, in every breath, in every thought you are there.
You are around me, surround me, and live within me.
You are every blue heron I see.
You are the smell of the tomato plants I grow.
You are the forests I walk in.
You are every gentle wind that blows.
You are the quiet in solitude.
You are the far off look I know so well.
You are blue eyes that reflect back at me in the mirror.
You are the good advice I give my children.
You are the breath that stops me short when I see a Korean War veteran.
You are the one I look forward to seeing in my dreams.
You are the ache in my heart that reminds me you were real.
You are the smile and joy that bubble up when I think of our time together.
You are the investor I needed working my way through life.
Growing up you were my everything.
Growing older you are my everything still.
I will love you all of the days of my life.
And beyond.
