Why Do I Love You? - Dedicated to my one and only ..... Joe - Poetry - http://maxpages.com/betsy/Why_do_I_love

I love you,
Not only for what you are,
But for what I am
When I am with you.

I love you,
Not only for what
You have made of yourself,
But for what
You are making of me

I love you,
For ignoring possibilities
Of the fool in me
And for laying firm hold
Of the possibilities for good.

Why do I love you?

I love you
For closing your eyes
To the discords-
And for adding to the music in me
By worshipful listening.

I love you because you
Are helping me to make
Of the lumber in my life
Not a tavern But a temple;
And out of the words
Of my every day
Not a reproach
But a song.

I love you
Because you have done
More than any creed
To make me happy.
You have done it
Without a word,
Without a touch
Without a sign.
You have done it
Just by being yourself.

After all
Perhaps that is what
Love means.
