Earlier This Morning
Earlier this morning, I reflected,
On having shared warm laughter with my wife;
Have things turned out more than I expected,
When first we joined, embarked the path of life?
Thinking back, did I take it for granted,
Nigh forty years together we’d still be
Laughing now, the same as when we started,
Lovingly, engaging mutually?
The answer to myself is surely yes;
It’s more than I could dream of, so much more;
All things considered thus, I ever less,
Take love for granted like I did before;
Another’s time was never better spent;
I’m happily and gratefully content.
