My Hero

The light plays softly on your face
As you breathe in and out
As the rhythms of life go on
I crave a universe with only you
You would be my sun
I would be your moon
Together we make the stars
Lit in ecstasy 
What a fire we would make
I smile to myself
A woman's smile
Full of the little things we treasure 
The way you kissed me 
The first night we were together
The way you hold me while we sleep
The way you look out for me
In so many precious things you do
I am so blessed
So deeply fortunate to have you
You are a noble mythic creature
To me
Far surpassing Hercules or Superman
You are a flesh and blood man
No doubt of that .
Yet the hero in you stands out
Making me Lois Lane, or even Arwen
I can see you on a noble steed
Wearing chain mail like LOTR
I can see you like John the Baptist
Or 
Abe Lincoln
Or 
Even just as you are..
MY hero
