My Treasure

They say where a man’s treasure is,

There his heart will be

No doubt why I am here today

I searched North and South

I searched East and West

But my heart wouldn’t rest

I flew across the Ocean

To a land far from home

There my heart found rest

I knew I had found my treasure

For you are all I ever dreamt of

I couldn't ask for more

I remember when we first started

Though you gave me tough times

It was just like a dream

I thought it would never come true

I remember how we stayed on the phone all day

Chatting and facetiming was all we did

Exchanging gifts was what we did

To keep our love though out of sight

I remember the first gift you gave me

Sending it through Amazon

Today, it’s become my favorite T-shirt

Even the sneakers you got me

I love to wear them everyday

I bless the day you said I do

From being my virtual valentine

You’ve become my actual valentine

No one believed in us

No one thought we would come this far

But look how far we’ve come

Against all odds

I love you to the moon and back

I will love you even when the day goes dark

I may lie for you

But I will never lie to you

All I wanna do is make you smile

For I never wanna see you cry

Even though I fight for you

I will never fight you

Thank you for riding with me

Thank you for believing in me

Some people treasure money

Some people treasure gold

Some others treasure pleasure

But you treasured me

If I had a thousand choices

I would still choose you as my wife

For you bring out the best in me

For you stood by me when I was down

Even when you thought I had failed you

You never gave up on me

I pray to love you all my life

For you, my darling wife

You are my treasure

My First Gift of Love

What started as a mere exchange of gifts has turned into a lifetime exchange of love.
