My Hero

My Hero	by Robert
Denton July 2014

Ah, but she is
beyond all others,
a blessed divine
gift brighter than
the purest of gold. 
She glows like the
sun streaming
rays upon the earth,
and cutting the
stone cold. 
She is but poetic
grace,
loyal in her
movements however
clumsily she floats.
She persists in
giving
and with every fiber
of her being, she
devotes.

Oh how I love her,
my friend, my lover,
my companion, my
wife.
Despite a grim
futurity
she offers comfort
and purpose to my
life.
The pain of
existence from where
I sit,
becomes squelched by
her kind spirit
aglow.
Deeply connected,
though I will admit,
my wife is also my
hero.
