Loving You

When I woke up this morning and I saw you lying there
with the sunlight through the curtains shining in your hair.
I looked at you lovingly, while you lay asleep
and leaned over to kiss you, gently on your cheek.


We sat together at the breakfast table, with talk of the day ahead 
as always you had something to say, to help me clear my head.
The phone rang, one of the children, needing you again
and you patiently talked and listened to her, taking away her pain.

  
When I came home in the evening, at the end of a busy day
you were there at the door to meet me, in your usual way.
I’d never seen you more beautiful, in the clothes you wear
and I held you close to kiss you, while my hand ran through your hair.


Now as I lay beside you, as you sleep, in the dark of the night
I think how you always bring to my life, so much love and light.
Without your love I would be, like a candle without a flame
and for the close ones, who share our love, it would be the same.

Thanks for your comments Linda-Marie and your welcome to the site which I'm just figuring out how to use.. Your encouragement is going to make me want to put more of my poems on. I tend to use an easy flowing style that everyone, even if they don't read much poetry, can relate to. Tim
