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.

We need to be thankful for the people who stay with us in the bad and the good times.

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!

We really must be thankful for what we have. Writing is just one of the many ways you can show, and this piece does it's best to show your love. Beautiful meaning and thought behind this.

I think we sometimes take our loved ones for granted and even a daily "I love you, " can become a habit. This is beautiful because it is the why and way more personal than just "I love You," and that is important.
A beautiful write, and she is lucky to have someone who can express it so eloquently. A lot of men cannot and do not, so Kudos!

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you. We must show love and concern to our number two. Or lose them.

This is a simple yet powerful piece. 'Now I know.
You are my only sweet dream.
That I have gathered in my time of living.' I love the way you wrote this. Thanks for sharing. :)

so true...We need to be thankful for the good times and the bad times then keep around the
people who make you feel good and jettison the ones who make you feel bad.
This is lovely, lovely and lovely some more.

I love this one, one of your bests so far.

It is just right to be grateful of the love we receive, so we should let those people know how we thank them for staying in our lives.
