Did I tell you?

A wise person is thankful for what he has.

Did I tell you?

I don't remember if I told you how beautiful you are.

I have allowed so many things to blind my eyes.

Allowing disappointment to steal my smile and laughter.

I know.

If you left me.

I would become lost again.

I have twisted up my life in useless dreams.

Victories seem so far away.

Now I know.

You are my  only sweet dream.

That  I  have  gathered in my time of living.

I want to tell you.

I love you more than my own life.

Without you.

I would have no purpose.

Your love for me is a blessing.

A gift to a man so thankful for you.

Thankful for a kind lady  that touched his life.

I love you.

Your words are beautiful truth Coyote. This poem is a jewel to put in the crown of your love. It matches her beauty, as the photo shows. Eloquent, lyrical, tender...a song to the person whose love must never be taken for granted...in good times and bad...”Did I tell you?” In this poem, you did. Superb!

Thank you. We must tell the people we love. We need and want them near. Easy to make someone feel forgotten.

[Gee]

We are all guilty of not expressing our feelings and often wait until the wooden lid is screwed down and then it is to late.Beautifully conveyed Coyote

[Coyote Poetry]

You are right.I read this poem to remind myself. Thank you for reading and the comment.

Appreciating the presence of people is something that most people forget to do. They are either lost and busy in their own lives or sometimes even find it silly to do it.
But, we should always have time for those who care.
This is an amazing poem, I really loved it. :)

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Madhu. I appreciate the comment.

[Samhitha Mopati]

Certainly, we need to express our gratitude and concern to the people who garland our lives! The warmth you portray here, is heartfelt!
"I don't remember if I told you how beautiful you are."
The opening line itself is graceful and soothing!
Well done, Coyote!

Love becomes more valuable when you start fearing that the person will leave you.. Beautiful words... Indeed we should be thankful to all those who love us :)

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree and thank you for reading.

(Now I know. You are my only sweet dream. That I have gathered in my time of living.) Such beautiful words which express the kind of love most people can only dream of. Your author's note says we need to be thankful for the people who stay with us in the bad and the good times and how right you are! I am so grateful for the love of my life, my husband Jim! Today is our 50th. wedding anniversary. Your beautiful poem just gave me the "warm fuzzies!" And besides that it is very well written with expert craftsmanship! ~Sharon

50 years. Graduation. Dear Sharon. My grandparent on both sides. 50 plus years. They taught me. Love is hard work and worthwhile to know.

[Miss Sharon]

Yes John...to have a lasting relationship does take hard work at times...the give and take of it all and always respecting the other person and their wishes. I really appreciate all of the comments you've left on my poetry! ~Sharon

"I have allowed so many things to blind my eyes.
Allowing disappointment to steal my smile and laughter." - We are all led astray.. aren't we Coyote?.. The important thing is you did open your eyes and realized her true worth. That is all that matters. :)

"We need to be thankful for the people who stay with us in the bad and the good times." - Couldn't agree more.

A really good write :)

[Coyote Poetry]

We need good people to keep us balanced and strong. Thank you reading and the comment.

This has an interesting layout, its a nice poem but i think you should make the sizes of each section more consistent or to a clearer pattern. Hope this helps
