"And Spring arose on the garden fair,

Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;

And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast

rose from the dreams of its wintry rest."

"Two souls with but a single thought,

Two hearts that beat as one."

"It's the way you say I love you and the way you hold my hand

There’s just so much about you I completely understand

It’s the twinkle in your eye that I only see when you look at me

It's the warmness of your hands it sends a shock straight to my feet

It's how you always amaze me, you surprise me all day long

This I know is true

Baby, I'm in love with you!"

~ Poem by Meagan D. Murdoch
