Love

I have found true Love
A bin man he be
No gems or bull....
Just pure love he gives me
Works hard for a living
strives every day
to pick up the rubbish
the rich throw away
With a beautiful smile
and a heart of gold
I thank the lord 
it's his hand I hold
He makes me so happy
in every way
We laugh at the rubbish
life throws our way
I am proud of my man
forever will be
As he makes me proud
of just being me
We dance in the rain
and laugh in the sun
Through the meadow of love
As one we run
Our hearts full of joy
Within love we fly
No valley too steep
no sky too high

An awesome write Elizabeth -very touching. I must congratulate you for finding true love. To find love in the purity of soul of a bin man (if you really mean it and not a metaphoric use) reflects your insight about life. Life is more than a glamour alone. Bravo! Thanks also for your appreciation of my Tanka Prayers Answered. Best wishes. -Mohammad
