Notes About The Poem

Written on October 15, 2023

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Grateful

You are like the kiss of wind,
Lightly caressing – gentle, expressive,
Kissing away my fears, each tear…
With a gentling that breathes love into
Everything…

You are like the translucent smile,
Radiating tenderness, intimate and alive,
Whispering over my heart, 
With a sensitive I might never have known…
Without you.

You are like the stardust wishes,
Silencing my doubts, reassuring the hopes,
Restoring my faith in mankind,
With a peace, a promise, a prayer…
Because you’re here.

You are like the breathless calm,
Still and quiet before the storm’s darkness,
Forcing awake the peaceful soul,
Capturing beautiful in the knowing…
Your heart is glowing.

You are like the stirring of joy,
Friendly smile, heartening and alive,
Uplifting my spirit so that I see…
Just what it means to love beyond my dreams,
You are so amazing.

You are like the heart and soul,
Who knows about my worst failures,
And still… believes in my best, 
Accepts and blesses my attempts to grow,
With you, I find hope.

You are like the moment when I know…
Elation beyond my imaginings,
Confidence in the forever gifts, the blessings
Reminding me that I’ll always be…
Grateful that you’re with me!
