It Is This-

It is anything and everything
   The song of the soul singing within
      A child’s laugh playing their games
         The suns warmth on the face in April
            The peaks of the Appalachians
It is staring down the Grand Canyons cliffs
   Unharvested endless plains of Montana
      Walking in the gentle rains of summer
         Setting sun in the middle of the Atlantic
            It is these I rarely recall…

It is that first gift given of your smile
   Endless days walking holding hands
      The gentle peace deep within Hazel eyes
         Her sultry glance of passion burning brightly
            The rhythmic breathe while she sleeps
It is the ease of laughter she shares with me
   The manner of her walk as she comes and goes
      Her gentle caress steadying as I lose myself to fear
          Those sacrifices made with the gift of children
              An undying faith held…


It is this I see within my wife…
…Beauty unbound
