Who Better Than We? Poem by Maurice Harris

It is in the look of verity that I sense in your eyes
And the smile I always envision upon your face,
That causes my heart to refuse to let go!
My hope is, that its steadfast devotion is no surprise,
Nor is my position that none may take your place!
We must earnestly try though, before you know;
Now is the time, for your actions to breathe life into us-
Let us build what is, not mourn what was!

Together my beloved, you and I are an indefatigable force-
Let our disparate lives, here and now, correct their course,
So that, at long last, we may be together,
To start what will become our forever;
Who better than we? When better than now?
We have faith-together with love-it will show us how!
