' As I Wake' Poem by Rick Valdez

As I wake by your side,
My feelings for you I can not hide,
I touch your face in the morning light,
...Being with you just feels so right

You make me feel like I'm a King,
like being inside an awesome dream,
Although this is real, that I know,
As the love that surrounds us continues to grow

I think of what the future holds...
Marriage, Music, us growing old,
And as I lay, with you dear,
I'm just so glad you're mine, you're here.
