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!

Many people can realate to this including myself. It is really sweet seeing a man uplifting a womans self-esteem there isn't a lot of men out there that do that. And thats the main reason for why woman cry and think they are not pretty. This poem really is heart felt and any woman would be so lucky to have you

[Kanattas Atir Enomo]

This is a very true poem. Beautifully written and I agree. It was a pleasure to read although I did notice a little typo. "I love you more then my own life" "then" should be "than" overall good job

[Cheyenne]

I agree with you completely we take things for granted so much. I am no exception to this either this is a really great write.
