Thoughts of You

She has my heart and well knows it. A better man lives in me

Rebecca

When I'd converse with other women

I'd always think of you

Your words are much sweeter than theirs

and so much kinder too

When I'd look at other women

I'd wish your face be there

Blue eyes cased in that freckled hue

topped by sweet auburn hair

So when I'd think of other women

or dream away the day

I'd feel of you the summer breeze

that blew my heart away

Author's Note

My loving wife. From whom I take much of my inspiration. She is the reason for everything good in my life.

this is beautiful...and your love for her is such a gift...
and this song, in my opinion, was their best hit.

"you're my reason for laughing, for crying, for living , for dying"
Yes.

Thanks jacob. I believe this is their best hit too. However "Youve lost that loving feeling " was the most played song of the 20th century. Thank you for stopping over. This is the first poem in years for me.

[John the Baptist]

A touching poem of devotion, this one. Quite refreshing, considering all the "You done me wrong" offerings one sees here.

[Tate Morgan]

This is a beautiful, moving tribute to your wife. That she inspires you in your writing as well as thinking speaks volumes of your loving union. I am sure she is thrilled with each and every line. This is something she will have for life.

Creating a mausoleum of words in such beautifully crafted way and can tell a lot of thought went into this, rancois de La Rochefoucauld knows exactly what I am talking about when it comes to love. “True love is like ghosts, which everyone talks about and few have seen,” he said. ... That is what love is; having all those emotions throughout the journey and being able to experience them gives a deeper meaning to life. Keep writing sincerely your friend in writing and life :)

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you so much. I appreciate that
