A Love Poem...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

Have you ever

Loved someone so much

That every breath is a hymn of praise?


I have


And the words just pour out of me

Every breath sings

My throat catches with joy

My heartbeat rises

And I tremble

For he has opened the door

And so much of what I am

Is because of him…

I am simply taken aback....

There's no way I belong with those folks....

When something like this comes out of me, I feel as though I am only the conduit, and that the words came from someplace else...

I am extremely touched and honored by your words here today...:hug:
