As It Came

In the morning I like my laugh when it’s with yours Starts with a muffled giggle, but when it rains it pours Your chest inflates and out comes a hearty bellow This placid stream of crisp mornings mellow Every pearly white on glorious display In this happy place I forever want to stay You on the couch, I’m sat crossed legged on the floor Talking about what life could possibly have in store You say ‘we should take it as it will come’ As the morning dew begins to linger with the sun I turn and catch you giving me a pensive look Your speechless thoughts could fill any book Later in the day we go for a walk in the countryside I don’t think I’d prefer anyone else to share this ride Half way up the hill, I stop to get a twig out my wellie You lean in for a kiss, my boots now filled with jelly You smile yet again and slip a hand in my mitten I wondered if the wildlife ever get so smitten? In the now stretched wool you enclose my cold fist Knit a two for one mitt I add to my mental to do list We’ve made it to the top of this glorious place The wind now picking up to a howling pace I put my arm around you and hug you tight The autumn leaves have now taken flight ‘We'd have been quicker if you didn’t make my legs go lame’ You laugh, ‘Well I told you we would take it as it came’
