IF YOU KNOW ME
(A SONNET to Liberata (Libby) Marinilli)
If you know me... truly know me thus far,
You would know I’d raise your name high… And write it in the stars,
For how greatly beautiful… you always were,
The depths of a heart of any man, , , you could definitely stir.
If you know me… then how could you not see?
How greatly important… you had always meant to me,
You were beautiful… and are beautiful still,
You have always been… and you always truly will.
I do not say this… because I have always loved you so,
I say it dear Libby… because its true and I wanted you to know,
And whether or not… you even agree,
It honestly changes not… the truth that I see.
Be happy oh Libby… in all that you are,
Know that you are so loved… and shine like a star,
And bright is your glow… that does not dwindle away,
To soon be forgotten… like some yesterdays.
You are the greatest… there is no doubt,
There is no other girl… that can shine you out,
You must believe this one thing…
Even if you do not believe how much I’ve cared for you,
For each and every word I spoke…
That came from my heart is true,
You always were the greatest Libby… and you’ll always be,
There isn’t a more beautiful girl than you… whom I’ve ever seen.
