Unexpected Happiness

You make me happy,
A joy I've never known before—
A blissful love for life,
In you, I've found my home.

Unexpected love,
The best kind to discover,
It catches me by surprise,
With no doubt in my mind.

To begin a life with you,
Is all I wish to share.
Yet I scare myself endlessly,
Sabotaging what seems so fair.

This time, I pray it's different.
Let me wander through this uncharted land,
Eager for more yet weary of the outcome,
Captivated by love’s command.

This brings back the feelings and memories of when my husband and I first came together.
