I Am Thankful For
We paced the dulcet garden path paved with desire,
sensed the fervent flower called love bloom in our heart,
where the butterfly of longing flew on the trail of fire,
promising us with its flair nothing would set us apart.
Through the blizzard in the winter of depressing plight,
in my journey across the undulating terrain of languid life,
and along the valley of flowers in the spring of delight,
I am never alone, for with me I always find you, my wife.
As our entwined footprints fade in the passionate past,
in my last mile walk, you, as my second shadow, I see.
While the twilight gleam of the spent sun wanes fast,
I am thankful for the precious gift God has given me.
