On we go!

You are my companion for life;
I can’t  imagine going anywhere or doing anything without you. 

You are my keel
When all other mechanics fail.

You are my conscience
When out of reach of time and space.

You are my resource
When seeking what to do or say.

You are the one who cares
About my beginning and end.

You are the very treasure
Of all that I count among the best.

You are the icing on my cake
The sweetness of my life.

You are my ocean and the sea,
The colours emerald and green.

You are the view from the mountain top and
The valleys below of burnished shades,
The pleasures of the gut and soul,
The reason to carry on.

You fulfill my wishes and reveries
And make them all come true;
You stand by me when others won’t,
You’re my sunny day when clouds appear;
You make the sky so blue.

It is you who helps me greet the day,
You who makes me smile as best I may;
You remind me of the gems of life
And keep me far from silly strife.

You’re martinis and large green olives and Osso buco
And cigarettes and cigars and 24K gold;
You’re Key Lime pie and maple syrup;
You’re all that I’ve enjoyed.
But even without them I still have you to sustain me wherever I go;
You’re always my pride and joy!

You are my companion for life;
I can’t  imagine going anywhere or doing anything without you.
