Love Poem: Breathe

Breathe

Breathe


You lay in bed hands on your tummy
Head on your pillow blankets to waist
Deep relaxed breaths

Hair framing the face I love
Bursting scrumptious lips
Chest rises and falls with each breath
Tummy expands and falls with each breath
Hands slide to your sides as you drift asleep.

I sit in the chair and watch each peaceful inhale
Then relax with each exhale
Our breathing in perfect harmony

My love grows with each synchronized moment
I can’t believe you married me
Better yet your love for me grows 
Even after my stroke
This quiet moment is one of life's blessings
Thank you, God, for this woman.
