You are proof that love can rise up
from under the rubble of a battered spirit.
Proof that even though love hurt in the past
Today there is no reason to fear it.
Proof that despite the scars of a broken heart
And evidence of a tear that stains the cheek
Your love can mend and bring new life
To a soul whose outlook was bleak.
You are proof that love can shine
From behind the darkest cloud
Proof that even from muted lips
The whisper of joy can be so loud.
Proof that one can make it through anything
As long as your love for them is pure
And for even a terminal illness of heart
Love is the only cure.
You are proof that love can conquer
Without sword or shield
Proof that only open arms
Is what a heart should wield
