Throughout a lifetime our lives may be touched by a miracle
When you smiled and lovingly gave me your hand, I was blessed
Clouds gave way to a sky that turned an azure blue and the sun smiled
I held you close to me and felt the joy of you through your softness.
You had been my one dream since I grew through my youthful days
We had often chatted together and had gone out on occasional dates
When I saw men giving you their searching looks I felt so proud of you
But through it all you held onto my hand and always stayed very close.
Wherever we travelled you insisted in paying your share of any expenses
You were a vibrant young woman with blonde hair and fetching green eyes
Each time we were together I fell more deeply in love with you and.......
....in the hours we were parted a gnawing empty feeling clung to my stomach.
Today I note your excitement as we are going to look at engagement rings
In my heart I know my thoughts are to purchase a ring of your dreams
I am not a millionaire but I realise your happiness is paramount to my own
Orchid Lady it is time for your own little miracle to be handed to you.
This evening our friends and family will pull together and put on a nice party for us
Our togetherness will join us a little closer in our companionship and love
Just being in your company makes me feel like a new Spring has arrived.......
....leaving us to grow together; making our future one we will be proud to live in.
