When We First Met You Seemed a Timid Doe

February 10, 2017

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is romantic love.

Today’s poem is to a much-loved wife.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

When we first met you seemed a timid doe.

I hardly noticed you, nor did you me.

Now you are a mother and my wife,

And I find it a miracle to be.

You are for me a fresh, eternal springtime,

Or like an open window after rain,

A breath of air that says something of heaven,

And tells me of life's beauty once again.

I don't tell you enough how much I love you,

But if I did, I would say nothing else.

Each moment I am with you, there is sunlight

Slanting through the prism of my self.
