Christabel

You are the country I inhabit;
you are the dialect I speak;
you are the years of being happy
through the routine of the week.

You are the house I feel at home in
(garden annually renewed);
you are the clothes I wear for comfort;
you are my bestest favourite food.

You are my passport to adventure,
snorkelling with ray and shark;
you are the stars in constellations
guiding through the blinding dark
.
You are the blue sky sun above me
warm in winter, summer bliss;
you are the one I need to love me -
bed-time cuddle, day-time kiss.

You are the atmosphere around me;
you are my whole environment;
you were the dawn and will be sunset -
this is for you - my testament.
