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.

Thank you for the beautiful poem and photos.

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

Life is full of inspiration. Love and family bring much of it if we choose to see it. I am happy that you see all the love and inspiration in your life. This poem speaks of that. You honor your wife with this poem and the love that you create everyday. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Thanks Eddie

Very nicely done. Effortless rhyme and I loved bringing it back to ancestors. I also enjoyed the way you linked the begining and the end with the falling leaf and the autumn falling on the world.

Thank you Steve

This is profoundly moving. The rhyming seems effortless and that is not an easy thing to accomplish. I envy you such deep relationships.
