Day breaks across my beloved\u2019s face,<\/p>\n
the sunlight caressing his kind and gentle features.<\/p>\n
I watch him as he sleeps, as he breaths,<\/p>\n
my heart swells with joy and contentment.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Time brought us here to this moment –<\/p>\n
not one either would ever have guessed.<\/p>\n
Love grew so fast we had to hold on tight<\/p>\n
to one another to not spin out of control.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In these mature days of my life,<\/p>\n
to find someone so perfect, so right for me,<\/p>\n
was not expected, not sought out –<\/p>\n
but, so it was to be.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You believe in me and support what I feel called to do,<\/p>\n
no matter how trivial some of these may seem.<\/p>\n
You never waver in your love;<\/p>\n
you ground me when needed, you\u2019re my sounding board of reason.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
That ever-playful twinkle in your shockingly blue eyes<\/p>\n
and your humorous view of the world and our foibles<\/p>\n
Brings me a healthy dose of daily laughter and giggles<\/p>\n
and sets the tone for our lives.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With each and every day, I am thankful<\/p>\n
for the events that conspired to bring us together,<\/p>\n
for these best days of our lives,<\/p>\n
to share, to partner is this journey of love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
