My Home

My Home I watched many mornings dawn Through my own eyes, The seasons changed before me, Winter snows followed summer rains, Ev’ry path I followed I made my own decisions, But in the evening light I prayed for a miracle, Someone to share my life with, Then you came from your family I called from my home - Called to be one in body and one in soul, For from this time on My heart beats with your heart, Your life my very breath, Now I choose to take a chance upon tomorrow With you, Asking Heaven’s blessing upon this life together, Guardian of our vows abide with us In stormy times – in laughter and in overflowing joy Ev’ry day of our life; And wherever we travel, Wherever we go, I will stay with you For with you I am truly at home. 8-7-19

Hearts all a-flutter! Beautiful gift to your soulmate, trusting in "the Guardian of our vows". This was a blessing to read and be reminded of the great fortune I too have known. "My heart beats with your heart, / Your life my very breath". Delightful.
