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.

Thank you for the beautiful poem and photos.
"So like am I a grain of sand
I compare my lifes own worth
To all who were my ancestors

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

awww!!! so sweet of you to write such a poem to your beloved wife, this stanza specifically has really touched me
"She sees in me what I cannot
making fast my hope and stare
She holds this heart with tenderness
her love lay everywhere"
If anyone told me that, I would be over the moon.

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you Cassie. You will have this too.

This is a beautiful poem of love and dedication. I love the Autumnal references which leads me to see this as nearing a sunset of one's life and wondering if everything you've done has been enough to sustain love to the very end, spoken so poetically by these words:

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

Your poetry always amazes me, Tate. This piece is no exception. I always leave your words with a renewed hope and inspiration. Blessings!

So sweet, Tate. I admire a husband like you who is proud to shout to the whole world how he loves his wife. And to your wife, she's so blessed having you as her partner in life.

May God always bless you and your family...
