You Are

Beautiful poem Happy. Thanks for sharing.

Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing

this poem is missing the first line

You are not the air that I breathe,

You are the sweet scent that drifts upon it

You are not the food that I need,

You are the nourishment of my soul

You are not my will to survive

You are my reason for living

It is with you that I experience the wonders of the world

It is with you that I triumph over the challenges in my path

It is your partnership that will lead me

to the fulfillment of my dreams

It is your friendship that guides me

as I learn and grow

It is your patience and wisdom

that calms my restless nature

It is through you that I know my true self

I do not take you for granted, I cherish you

I do not need you, I choose you

I choose you today in witness of all the people who love us

I choose you tomorrow in the privacy of our hearts

I choose you in strength and weakness

I choose you in health and in sickness

I choose you in joy and sorrow

I will choose you, over all others,

every day for all the days of my life

yeah I read it, and it seemed to be missing something. Love the lyrics though
Thanks Future. BTW, who would be the author of this poem?

Nice poem. I would change one line though, but I don't know what I would change it to. I don't want my man to think I don't need him.

I know exactly what the author (whomever that is) means by this line. My FH and I went through a thing b4 because I am the 1st woman that he's been with that hasn't "needed" him financially. I kept telling him that its better to be with a person that chooses (or wants) to be with you vs a person the "needs" you. Once that needy person figures out they can do things for themselves or finds someone else who supplies their needs a little better they'll be gone. That one the chose you - they'll be there because there's no other place they WANT to be.

Thanks for dissecting it. It makes more sense now.
