My Beloved

Like the wind you came into my life;
Your laugh, your smile stopping me in my tracks.

So young and blind;
You took my hand, saving me years of pain.

Letting go of the past;
grasping new beginnings.

Giving you everything I had;
Including the bad and ugly.

I hope it was enough;
Prepare for more.

We grew as independents;
But remained as one.

Once again I give you everything;
But this time it is the very best.

May we continue to Shine;
Like the sun rising each day.

Equally embracing the darkness;
The night may bring.

We are one…
forever more.

I Love you…
infinity!

Invictus

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
By
William Ernest Henley
