The Gift Granted

by Strahd (aries) - Not entered

I woke up with her in my arms.
Her eyes were closed, she slept,
But she was smiling.
For a moment my mind was blank,
Holding only the image of her still sleeping form,
How beautiful she looked laying beside me.
Then I remembered,
A wave of memory and emotion
Of the night before,
Of making love to her for the first time.
A tear formed in my eye
And rolled to the bed sheet.
I was not deserving of the gift granted me that evening,
And immediately I thanked God.
I kissed her cheek
And thanked her also.
She said nothing,
But pulled herself closer to me,
And I knew she had been granted the gift also,
And I smiled.

The End

Reason for writing:

    For my girlfriend, Heather.
