A Poet's Haven

Long ago I looked into those eyes…

She has such a beautiful smile when she smiles…

Her hair was a different color then…

But those eyes were a shade of blue green…

I remember stumbling for words over her eyes…

I saw our first child and the two that followed…

As I look into those eyes now…

I see the person I could not have lived without…

She could make me smile and laugh…

Even when I was sick or exhausted…

I saw way back then her inner beauty…

I still stumble for words…

As I search through my thoughts…

I love you, seems to be inadequate…

She smiles over my attempts to write poetry…
