My heart belongs to only one
I gave it to her so long ago
And she has held it quite gently
Through Summer suns and Winter’s snow.
And when I’ve been found wanting
She’s helped me and held me close
Goodness!! She is so beautiful
She remains my English rose.
I could never have lived without her
There has always been such grace
And every morning when I awake
I see and love her beautiful face.
We are now so very much older
But our love still keeps us close
A lifetime spent in my lover’s arms
I’ve been blessed beyond my hopes.

You are blessed and she’s the reason you write so beautiful. Happiness comes from within 🙂
Thank you Anne, I couldn’t imagine living a life without her having been a part of it. ❤
