To Be Blessed

My clock rises and sets on every breath that you take....
From the time we go to bed to an early morning wake....
My mind always drifts to you as my work day moves....
To think of your walk and the sweet way you groove....
That big kiss hello after a long day that we're apart....
Or if I surprise you at work, that smile is my favorite part....
As we watch football together on a cool Sunday afternoon....
And for that I watch your soap opera's to keep things in tune..
There may be some ups and downs that may be found, but 
through it all I'm blessed that you stayed around...
