My Beloved Wife

So like am I a grain of sand I compare my lifes own worth To all who were my ancestors sharing roots of each others birth

Rebecca and I

I am the little leaf falling

feeling but half my worth

No more to wave in the breeze

to heaven from this earth

 

I alone do think I dream

of the love I wish to live

I myself do think I want

much more than I can give

 

She sees in me what I cannot

making fast my hope and stare

She holds this heart with tenderness

her love lay everywhere

 

So like am I a grain of sand

I compare my lifes own worth

To all who were my ancestors

sharing the roots of each ones birth

 

As autumn falls upon my world

should the birds no longer sing

Will there be nothing left to give

but a prayer upon a wing

"Love you Mamma and Papa"

Author's Note

Whenever I think the best is all behind me I look to my blessings. There I see the joys of my wife and granddaughter and the hope they embody therein. Though there may be fewer days ahead than behind. It is quite evident they will be every bit as beautiful.

We are part of our ancestors and their faces and thoughts become our dreams and hope also. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

They are pure magic, the eyes of those who come to love us... somehow they see beyond our petty limitations and catch glimpses of the impossible within us. So thankful you have your wife who can lift you every day from the mundane to the simply glorious.

[Tate Morgan]

Well I am so lucky that my wife sees past my inequities And shall stay by her side so long as she will have me

[Androglossia]

Very nice poem, Mr. Morgan. The flow is good, I read it aloud and the thought is clear. Like what I've mentioned to a friend on here, we will always find something of our spirits in each of our kin and children. Thank you for sharing.
