Choosing Me

Choosing Me

I sing today with a joyful heart, 
for the dark-clouds had left from wavering over the top. 
I wake in the light of the sun now, 
and the birds once again sing with me in a relay.

The flowerings' spread all about in the fields,
with the thickets alongside them in balance.
The scent of the lavender and lilacs; I do thee smell,
brings about the enrichment of what you brought to my life.

The hours of my yesteryears will never fade from you,
for you have not only shown what the meaning of life was, 
but the bliss of the purpose is hard to fathom. 

Thank you, my love, for choosing me!

No, I wasn't sick, Darlene, but I was suffering from losing my granddaughter. Then I was having a tough time with my breathing, and it's just been a trying time. But, I'll be ok, thanks for inquiring about my absence. That's thoughtful. Best of Wishes, William

Well, Merry Christmas to you too, Darlene. You know it's been 14 years since my late wife's passing, and I am still so in love with her. Romance is what keeps couples going and communication. And thank you for your sentiments here; you are always the first to ring. Thank you, that's admiring! Best of Wishes, William
