Am I Dreaming

Am I dreaming
Am I in love
Did the nights just become better
Are the days gleaming with sun
Did I just breach
when you were in reach
Did you sign a love letter
Did my diary just get better and better

Am I dreaming
I remember the mirror
when I talked to myself being alone
but there you are breaking the dawn
Arm in arm were the teens
but, I waited it seems
until true love showed under the clouds
the thunder clapping, serendipitously loud

The submarine speaking its mind
I rewind the lips on velum, lover signed
Am I dreaming
or did you appear
as I showed up like a buttercup from boot’
and you snatched me up from the group
I was your Friday, the others rest

Am I dreaming
or were we married
in the courtyard, as I marveled at the promise
I made to to you, and to God in my mind
The Spirit lassoed me before I accepted truth
He knew ahead of time - a threefold cord
The devil couldn’t separate two
who would one day be inseparable

Am I dreaming
Am I in love
for forty-five years, though some seemed long,
but now time flies and were having such fun
Thankful, you’re in reach
that we support one another
and have a lifetime to revisit
knowing each other so well, having kids
and grands; not separate, but kindly successful

Am I dreaming; do I take things for granted -
expletive NO! It was hard work and worth
every minute, hour, year and decade.
Deliriously in love with your eyes and smile.
You ARE worthwhile
and thank you God!

It always has more to be said. And imagination never runs out of things to say or play. especially when the person is real.

Very inspiring! Nice to hear of a positive, healthy relationship that has withstood the many challenges of time. You have been blessed...certain there was work involved~ but even though love can be involved, nice to see some love's are, super-strong, and forever. Blessings to you and your husband.

How steadfast your commitment to marriage and love is. These are words I share...sometimes, even now after 43 years of marriage, I think I'm dreaming. Been blessed through hardship and all...
