Despite the doubts and troubles, that you have gone through, <br />There is no doubt about are love. <br />Though many now change partners when they want to, <br />You’ve found your one and chosen not to move. <br />In doing so, you’ve given me a picture <br /> More beautiful than the most persuasive lecture, <br />With far more force than any rule or law. <br />So much you’ve given me! <br />Yet what you’ve given of love, time, money and concern, <br />Is less than what I’ve seen as you have striven <br /> To make your life a lesson I might learn. <br />I’m grateful for things you did and do, <br />But even more, for what you made of you.<br /><br />Jacob Gifford<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-m-here-to-stay/
