Sleepy eyes,
hair all in a mess.
A voice in a whisper,
you can't help yourself I guess.
Dreams hanging on a thread hanging on to the best,
not quite erased the best part left I see.
For this woman in love.
still dreams of me,
That look you have,
is a blessing to me each day.
I see the love you have,
shows in such a unique way.
It is daily displayed.
That look you have,
embraces me with love.
And honey,
thats more than enough.
Such beauty you in your gown and apron I see,
you rise early just to be with me.
That first kiss as the first day we met,
honey it's a feeling we shall never forget.
Days away and I call home,
to hear your voice when your all alone.
And only get the answering machine,
with a message in a whisper baby come on home to me.
That look you have,
is a blessing to me each day.
I see the love you have,
shows in such a unique way.
That look you have,
embraces me with love.
And honey,
thats more than enough.

Very nice poem.The wedding picture looks ancient and you still write for the same person.THAT IS AWESOME!
I can call this "an ever lasting love"
I was thinking that"That Look You Have" is not that amazing title..Maybe "More Than Enough" would be better
Anyway nice again..and by the way loved the name "stories untold".it is very nice
Anan.

This is such a beautiful walk you take us on, it is quite a different take on the lyric but I love the gentleness and the reminder to all of us that have someone to love someone. Best to you in the contest

This is so beautiful and you always work such important messages into your poems. I love how you repeat "And honey, thats more than enough" it ties the piece together nicely. While reading this poem I had a nice sense of tranquility come over me. Thank you for sharing this wonderful piece with us. Good luck in the contest!

Love is earned as well as felt. A marriage is a work of art, a fine scuplted piece of clay that year after year needs a little reshapping! Lovely poem. ~Sie

I realized a while back that the love between my husband and myself gives my children a sense of that love and a feeling of safety.
it is the cornerstone that the children build apon,
I believe we are even closer then we were 25 years ago.
there is so much strength in love.
exquisite write my friend
God bless...
