Weekend Fiction - Keeper / Longing Poetry

For this edition of Weekend Fiction, I've done something rather strange.  On the left is a poem I wrote to my wife not long after the birth of our son.  On the right is the same poem with the words scrambled.  I find it interesting that even with the words in random order, much of the sentiment remains.

Keeper

Keeper of my heart
Mother of my son
How can I even start
To say that you're my love

Friend, Lover
Helped me discover
The life that I was longing for

Ten years have passed
Still you stir my soul
Without you
I wouldn't be whole

Wife, Mother
I could not love another
Always, you'll be in my heart
Longing

Keeper always
Keeper discover
To that in you not I passed

You'll still my love be whole
How could my I love without you

Start be of I Friend, I wouldn't
That for years even helped

Lover of life
The heart was Mother
Heart me can another
You're soul my stir

Say my Wife,
Mother have my son ten

By the way, for the two of you that were interested, last week's edition of Weekend Fiction, “The Visitor” was loosely based on the Star Trek episode Requiem for Methuselah.
