Waking Up Beside You Poem by Harry J. Couchon Jr

Seeing your smile, in the day's first light
Living with you darling, feels so right
Here with me, you're all I'll ever need
My hunger for your love you'll always feed

You've changed me now I'll never be the same
Sharing a bed with you will never be a game
Barbara my love, you've made me happy again
Feeling better than I can't remember when

At first it felt strange sharing a bed
I hadn't done that since the days I was wed
Waking up alone for way too many years
My only companion loneliness tears

then one day we happened to meet
You smiled at me sweeping me off my feet
I didn't try to get you into bed that night
Knowing it would happen when the time was right

And since that first time so many more
Waking up with the woman I adore
Thank you darling for everything you do
Especially letting me wake up beside you
