Eyes Wide Open

She is the one for me.

I am a lucky man.

Lucky because I don't know that I have been good enough in my life to deserve even a glance from her. Yet, when I look in the mirror, she is there. When she comes home at night I am as eager to see her as our dog Frisky (whimpering, tail wagging, toy bringing Frisky).

Our lives are intertwined. Fine vines growing together, not choking each other but sharing the earth, the sun and our precious time.

She has abided with me and my silliness, sometimes even enjoyed it, and I am so thankful for that.

I hope you have someone in your life who helps keep your eyes wide open.

Eyes Wide Open

07/18/11

If I close my eyes

will I see less of your beauty?

If I cannot hold you

will I not feel your warmth?

If we sit in silence

do I not hear our song?

If you are away from me

do I lose the fragrance of our life?

If the waters of time pass us by

am I not renewed by our river of joy?
