My Beloved Wife

So like am I a grain of sand I compare my lifes own worth To all who were my ancestors sharing roots of each others birth

Rebecca and I

I am the little leaf falling

feeling but half my worth

No more to wave in the breeze

to heaven from this earth

 

I alone do think I dream

of the love I wish to live

I myself do think I want

much more than I can give

 

She sees in me what I cannot

making fast my hope and stare

She holds this heart with tenderness

her love lay everywhere

 

So like am I a grain of sand

I compare my lifes own worth

To all who were my ancestors

sharing the roots of each ones birth

 

As autumn falls upon my world

should the birds no longer sing

Will there be nothing left to give

but a prayer upon a wing

"Love you Mamma and Papa"

Author's Note

Whenever I think the best is all behind me I look to my blessings. There I see the joys of my wife and granddaughter and the hope they embody therein. Though there may be fewer days ahead than behind. It is quite evident they will be every bit as beautiful.

We are part of our ancestors and their faces and thoughts become our dreams and hope also. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

Your wife is Blessed by your words Tate. It's fills ones heart with warmth and unending love when their spouse makes aware the love and thankfulness for having them in ones life.

I never understood the idea of complaining about a spouse to other women..I am fortunate that I am happily married. It is a source of unending joy to be so .I have many friends here on the cafe and this is where i feel I belong amongst them all. You are a fine example of the quality of souls who share this space Thank you
