Happiness, Come Rain Or Shine! Poem by Denis Martindale

My wife's in bed this rainy day,
Hugging her, I'm happy,
As if God-blessed and come what may,
He grants us harmony...
For I love her so much I pray,
With thanks that she loves me
And turns all other loves away
To shield this certainty...

Just like the sun and moon above,
Each serves the other well,
Yet, such as we, delight in love,
Each with a tale to tell...
It's like God's grace has proved enough,
Our hearts and thoughts to gel,
To form a bond, should things get tough,
Bring Heaven into Hell...

Our wedding day was like a feast,
Our guests were having fun
And from that day, joy hasn't ceased,
It's like we've just begun...
Our loneliness has been released,
It's like the battle's won
And with each smile, we show we're pleased
That we've done what we've done...

No wonder that I hug her close
And compliments I share,
Because she blossoms like the rose
When true love's in the air...
The sun shines brightly, like it knows
Our love's beyond compare,
A miracle that grows and grows
In answer to our prayer...
