A Legend in My Time

I might be just a lost soul if not for the life we share For all the times that I have failed it's as wonder that you still care

Rebecca and I

       

A special world are you and I

wrapping around us with its tune

A bond I feel but cannot see

giving heart to the soul love's tune

 

The fingers spread like fine-spun gold

a silken thread that holds us fast

Firmly tightened around our lives

showing the future not the past

 

When you awake in fear of new

know it be truth and not just lies

Hold tight to that which binds your heart

it is the might of love that ties

I'd be no more than a lost soul

if not for the life we two share

For all the times that I have failed

it's still a wonder why you care

You bring warm, sunshine to the rain

happiness, to daily strife

The giddy, chimes of childhood

the unending, light of my life

Author's Note

Rebecca has become such a part of me I can hardly tell where I end and she begins. I am eternally grateful and shall stay so as long as I walk this earth. Thankfully she doesn't look at my past failures as possible future ones. However I hold no delusions about my own misgivings. I tend to leave the house a wreck. I am not easy to get along with. I tend to think I am always right. That aside I have but one true redeeming characteristic,that of total unending devotion. May it prove to be enough to carry the day.

Awe Taters that is such a sweet ode to the love you share with your wife. Don't we all want this on our lives ? Drop me a note.

[Lydia Shutter]

A write of love and devotion....one that is obviously meant for a lifetime. How beautifully you have expressed your emotions in this poem. I hope you give her this one...framed for Valentine's Day. Nothing could be more special. Lydi**

[Tate Morgan]

Oh I gave it to her as an apology for trashing the house yesterday. I thought she was going to cry when she saw the house So i wrote it for her and it made her cry.

[Lydia Shutter]

Awwww...that is very sweet.

[Tate Morgan]

As always My actions always break my own heart

[Lydia Shutter]

LOL you have a good sense of humor!

[Dayran]

I figure a man who truly loves will not see the other ... for he is as one. And in preserving one ... he nurtures both. And like the twines around the tree ... they bring to each ... the other ... to love. Nice.

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you Sri The truth is we feel the injury to another more acutely than we ever do to self

[Frieda P]

Everyone should experience this kind of love, reminds me of that quote from The Notebook...

“The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. And that's what you've given me. That's what I'd hoped to give you forever”

Found your author's note just as intriguing Tate, 'not easy to get along with'...ha, aren't we all especially with our significant other's, they get the worst of and the best of us....

[Tate Morgan]

I am no picnic to get along with But i feel the hand of demeanor on me and feel the look on my shoulder. I know the better man in me can do better. But will I?Thank you

[Frieda P]

I know Tate, I don't have to live with you, but I so get it....ha, bad enough dealing with you here ;-)

[Tate Morgan]

[Frieda P]

Lol, you know I'm only kidding with you, not. ;-)
