Thankful...



Her cheeks, radiant and fair,
Shining under the amber sun.
Her smile, ever the loveliest to the stare;
Her eyes, twinkling from gay fun.

Playful waters lap around her little feet where she laid;
Waves crashing in the distance, caught by her attentive ears;
Echoing in her mind were words once said
By a man who promised to love her through the years.

Alluring brown eyes, devouring pages of a book she’s reading;
Soft, supple hands, wrapped around its leather binding;
Dark auburn hair gracefully fluttering in the autumn breeze;
No version or definition of “beauty” can get any better than these.

Standing some distance away, admiring her, is that very man
Who promised to be by her side in life;
Thanking God and every lucky star he possibly can
For lavishing upon him a most enchanting wife.
