mere w0rds

(dedicated t0 all my bel0ved friends)

I searched am0ng the card displays,
T0 see if I c0uld find,
A little s0mething that w0uld say
Just what was 0n my mind.

H0wever there was n0t a 0ne,
That captured it just right,
F0r n0 0ne else can understand
Just what I'd like t0 write.

I even find it difficult
T0 try t0 write it d0wn,
F0r h0w d0 I p0rtray t0 y0u,
The l0ve that I have kn0wn?

I cl0se my eyes and what I see,
Is s0me0ne I ad0re;
A pers0n wh0 is beautiful,
Right d0wn int0 their s0ul.

Mere w0rds cann0t describe
The many qualities y0u sh0w,
The l0ve and caring nature that
Y0u share with th0se wh0 kn0w.

Y0ur kind and gentle temperament,
Y0ur sweet angelic smile,
Y0ur s0ftly sp0ken sentiments,
That reach acr0ss the miles.

Y0ur smile and laugh that sparkle with
The s0ftness 0f y0ur sighs,
The way y0ur face lights up a r0om...
That twinkle in y0ur eye.

The l0ving gestures thr0ugh the years,
That quickly c0me t0 mind,
F0r always y0u've a gentle w0rd
T0 calm and s0othe I find.

I struggle and I search t0 try
T0 find s0me w0rds anew...
And yet I cann0t capture
All the things that make y0u y0u.

I shall theref0re, be satisfied
That y0u must simply kn0w,
Just h0w I feel ab0ut y0u,
F0r with w0rds I cann0t sh0w.
