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!

This piece is truly heartfelt and full of other emotions. You are right. We need to say thank you more to others who are there. Appreciation is sorely needed. Thank you once more for writing this.

[Laura]

This was very emotional and heartfelt. I like the way you wrote it, I like the structure. And I couldn't agree more with you on being thankful for the people who stay with us through the bad and the good.

This is a beautiful, heartfelt piece. I don't feel any need, whatsoever to have you change around any of the writing, the structure or the wording. As a writer you choose to write the words as they come to you, in the structure you're inspired by at the time, and with the beauty which you feel through your words.

Well written, and a beautiful piece. You are quite right about needing those who stay with you through thick and thin. So many cut and run too easily.
