How Wonderful to Have You in My Life

February 3, 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 an anniversary poem expressing the joy of married love.

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

Yours,

Nick Gordon

How wonderful to have you in my life!

All my feelings whirl about my heart!

Perhaps I can't contain that I'm your wife;

Perhaps I don't know how or where to start.

You have me always, no matter what you do:

A gift I give my gift, joyously.

Nothing means as much to me as you;

Nothing else so fully makes me, me.

If I had everything that God could grant,

Very little there would bring me peace.

Enwrapped in you is everything I want:

Rapture, warmth, affection, sweet release.

So strong my love! So happy, sure, and strong!

A thousand thousand years would not seem long!

Reason tells me everything must end,

Yet you will always be my lover-friend.
