One day before I go,
I want you to know,
That your presence in my life,
Fills me with joy and delight.

Your wisdom streaks so profound,
In your soft brown eyes, wisdom is found.
Your dimpled cheeks, so sweet,
They bring a smile whenever we meet.

And that infectious smile you wear,
Brings light to all who are near.
Your towering height, a gentle might,
Yet you always make me feel just right.

Your warm hugs, they hold me tight,
In your embrace, everything feels right.
Your effervescent presence, a shining light,
Guiding me through the darkest night.

Your sense of humour, a constant delight,
With your sharp wit, you set things right.
Your cleft chin, a mark so fine,
A reminder of a love that’s mine.

Even your anxiety-bitten nails,
Can’t hide the kindness that prevails.
Your heart is so kind and pure,
With genuine concern, that’s sure.

For anger, you have no room,
Your support never ceases to bloom.
Your affection, pure and true,
Unwavering in all that you do.

You tower above, head and heart,
And in your cuddle, I find my start.
That amusing grunt you make,
Leaves me laughing, wide awake.

Your polite refusal, a mark of grace,
In your passionate kiss, I find solace.
Your loving caress, a tender touch,
Brings comfort that means so much.

And oh, your delicious food,
Filling my soul, my gratitude renewed.
Engrossing conversations we share,
Leaving me laughing without a care.

Your swift hand movements, so precise,
Accompany tender talks that entice.
Your magnetic vibes, I’m drawn to you,
With every word, my love for you grew.

Driving with running commentary,
Holding my hand, a beautiful story.
Your engaging tales, they make me smile,
Leaving me laughing for a while.

You’ve been my protector, my rock,
Through thick and thin, around the clock.
Your blue sheet conversations so deep,
Leaving me yearning, longing to keep.

I look up to you, figuratively and literally,
As your chin rest, my heart fills merrily.
In my darkest moments, you’ve rescued me,
Guiding me with love, setting me free.

You’ve shown me how to love unconditionally,
Providing a sense of security.
My knight in shining armour, strong and true,
You make me feel cherished, driving my blues.

For keeping me afloat, my buoy,
I send wishes for your days with joy.
In awe, admiration, and adulation,
I remain your pocket-sized Dynamo.

Thank you for being my full-course meal,
While I am your sweet dessert, so surreal.
With love, always and forevermore,
Your pocket-sized Dynamo, forever yours.
