Love Poem Poem by Robin D McCutcheon

You are a breath of fresh air.
Your energy and optimism are contagious.
I’m glad I wandered into your sphere of influence.
Perhaps I will become one of your moons,
Circling around you forever,
With my smiling face always turned toward you.

I could not have known you were coming.
I had forgotten that I needed you.
I had lost track of what I needed,
Like a nearly blind man who didn’t know he was blind,
Needing his glasses.

And then you arrived, from far away,
How or why I can’t say. Providence I guess.
But now it’s done, and you’re here, in my heart,
Where you belong, and where I hope you will stay.

We will plant beautiful flowers in the stubborn ground,
Coaxing them to glory.
Encouraging them to be all they can be,
As you and I will encourage each other to do the same.

You will sow new ribbons on my old Gordon Highlanders cap,
And I will help you decide what should go where. Pink or white?
And we will get younger every day until we are children again,
Romping through the flowers we planted together.
