Beloved's Birthday

I sat down to write a poem,
About a person who meant
the world to me.
Whose beauty exceeded
the weight of all infinity.
But the unique quality of her gift
was that it was more than bone-deep
It surged through her veins
And presented itself
in her every breath
It was kindness.
It was compassion.
But most of all,
It was selflessness.
So as I thought of all these wonders
I realized that my page was blank
Funny how that was the best,
And the only way to express my love.
For it was boundless
Like the horizon.
For it was deep
Like the ocean.
But most of all
It was forever
Like infinity.
And though I may not express
my presence. It is always there,
And my existence will continue
to hope that every experience
you encounter
from this birthday to the last.
Comes together to create a life,
that may be the most beautiful
thing to have ever existed.
But then I stop myself.
For I remember; that to me
the most beautiful thing to ever exist
Is you.
