Thank You for Being the Love of My Life

February 1, 2018

Dear Subscriber:

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

Today’s poem is a thank-you anniversary poem from a pregnant wife.

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

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Thank you for being the love of my life,

Half of the child asleep in my womb,

A husband whose husbandry made of his wife

Near as blissful a blossom as ever did bloom!

Knight of my nights and dance of my days,

Yours are the eyes in which I am most me.

Only with you will I wend through my ways

Unburdened as heaven, unscathed as the sea!
