Poem - All Too Real

By: John E. Murray, III

To Teri, my everlasting inspiration

My soul is refreshed by your mere presence,
As goodness and purity escape from your essence.
Inward I am drawn with no other thought
Than that of the wonder and awe you have brought.
A heart that has remained dormant for so long,
Now is vibrant, beating steady and strong.
I am truly gracious for the togetherness we share,
And await new sensations when next we are near.
Think of all your happiness and a glimpse you may see,
Of what erupts constantly when you are with me.
Be still for a while and attempt to feel,
This amazing dream as it becomes all too real.
