It’s not her birthday, nor is it our anniversary, and so, what better day to tell the world how special she is, and how blessed I am to have her in my life.
The Wonder of You
The good book says
Whatever is true, noble and right
whatsoever is pure and lovely
dwell on these things
And so, I dwell on you
How can I ever be down
when you are at my side
Always there with a smile, a word
a touch
or a loving gaze
I often wonder at how blessed I am
Sometimes, I smply wonder at the wonder of her!
I wonder sometimes, why me
And then at times
I simply wonder
at the mere wonder of you
I often think on how it might have been
had we met when we were young
Would you have loved me then
as you do now
So completely and unselfishly
I praise God for you every day
No greater blessing could He give
No riches, no power, no…
No nothing
could equal the gift of you
You look at me sometimes
as though I am more than a man
And so this I promise
I’ll be your hero
but only… if you’ll be mine
