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!

[AYVID N]

A very touching poem expressing such appreciation and gratitude for a steadfast and beautiful loved one. At the end such are the blessings that are counted and we must always be grateful to God for them. Because this life would be simply unimaginable without them.

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree. Any gift of love need to be cared for and we must return the gift of kindness. Thank you for reading and the comment.

A poem much appreciated. You are most welcome.

"Your love for me is a blessing."
I love this line- everything that makes us happy is always a blessing. I can imagine saying this to a potential soulmate.

"I have twisted up my life in useless dreams."
Another favorite line- it's almost surreal.
