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.

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.
