She Brings Out the Best in Me

At ten years old

My life she changed

Suddenly the sweetest of love songs

For her my heart gladly sang

 

At fourteen years old

I told her I’d always love her

Then she moved away

Thinking I’d soon forget her

 

At sixty-four years old

Still my heart wears her name

After all these years

Sharon will remain

 

Might she have imagined

That I would love her this much

That I would love her for this long

Even without her hands sweet touch

 

But touch me she did

To the deepest core of me

The greatest gift I’ve ever known

Love within my heart endlessly

 

Now more than ever before

I labor to be the best I can be

For Sharon deserves no less

She brings out the best in me
