Written for and dedicated to Sandi, the love of my life.

The Book Of Love

A book was left on my doorstep today
By someone so kind I couldn't repay
For they left no note or return address
The cover had attached to it a tress

I carefully removed the golden strands
Then picked up the book with shaky hands
On the cover it read, To My Sweetheart
Opening it up I received quite a start

It had a date written, down to the hour
That my baby was born, my special flower
Above was a note that read, to my Rick
I wondered if this was all a big trick

I began to read and couldn't believe
How engrossing it was, I didn't leave
Until I'd studied it all the way through
I was stunned, but so delighted too

On the final page was a message divine
It said to consider this gift as a sign
That our love was always meant to be
Only your caring heart could set me free

Treat her with tenderness, it went on
Her precious spirit will spur a new dawn
I knew it was true, for you're unique
The meaning was clear, I felt very meek

The angels chose me to be the lucky one
To win your love, ever bask in your sun
The book then vanished, but reappeared
In my heart where it will be revered

It's so true my life began when we met
I'll adore you forever, the best is yet
To come as I feel you constantly inside
Your soul and mine are eternally tied
