You are the sun when shades are pulled
You are the sparkling water that rushes
over shiny rocks in torrent stream,
You are the smoky moonlit shadows on quiet walls
You are the sweet smelling cotton of summer days,
Yours is the smile, adorned in radiant highlights
on a tired face,
Yours are the dark 'bitter chocolate' eyes
that twinkle indiscreetly !
Yours is the contented sigh that embellishes my room,
You are the blackberries that hang in myriad burgundy
array against my garden wall,
You are the saxophone in bluesy midnight tones
that stirs my heart,
You are the will and courage of every day
and I am the heart that never ceases to worry...

Thanks Jewel, It makes me happy to think you enjoyed this.
I do hope all is good for you - your new home looks wonderful - I hope it brings you many peaceful moments.
To be loved in such a way is a bold testament of a person's character. Love and admiration is earned, but without a worthy partner, sometimes things go unnoticed. Hamada is a lucky man.
You are too kind Michael - such a lovely comment. Sincere Regards to you all in Providence and take care.
