The morning sun shines upon you as if a ceremony of life,<\/span><\/p>\n

Each morning when I see you I give thanks you are my wife,<\/span><\/p>\n

Twilight brings pause as I reflect on my day with you,<\/span><\/p>\n

With each day’s passage I realize I’m closer to my due,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As my time withers to become past tense it is so very true,<\/span><\/p>\n

I would have no existence or reality without love from you,<\/span><\/p>\n

To love someone brings another dimension when new found,<\/span><\/p>\n

Yet half a century of loving you brings daily sensations abound,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Absence of light blanketed by a twinkling sky is our favorite night,<\/span><\/p>\n

Together we have basked in diamonds of the sky until first light,<\/span><\/p>\n

As morning chases darkness at horizons edge new light is found,<\/span><\/p>\n

The beauty of morning angels is highlighted by new light around,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A silhouette of angel is formed with the morning sky background,<\/span><\/p>\n

I trace each line in my mind as my fingers once did in war’s surround,<\/span><\/p>\n

There is no change but then angels of morning light are born of this,<\/span><\/p>\n

Exhaustion has captured my frame but I have need of one more kiss,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As if every ounce of energy I’ve known is within your lips I awaken,<\/span><\/p>\n

Into the depth of love I leap by a gaze into your eyes yet I am shaken,<\/span><\/p>\n

Teardrops trace my leathered face as I realize this will soon be taken,<\/span><\/p>\n

Desperately my mind tries to capture a memory as my heart is broken,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I feel a sob beneath your chest as you’ve read my thought in bond,<\/span><\/p>\n

Realize my angel that a night with you unseen is still a gift beyond,<\/span><\/p>\n

Beyond that of a teen fantasizing of love from my angel of dreams,<\/span><\/p>\n

I will still see the perimeters of morning light and feel sunbeams,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The unseeing may feel moonlight beams unknown to those that see,<\/span><\/p>\n

I close my eyes to absorb your essence each night as you come to me,<\/span><\/p>\n

God’s hand can heal my eyes as he touched my heart and hands too,<\/span><\/p>\n

I pray His touch to land upon my meager eyes that I may still see you,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For you are my hidden treasure that I have survived to behold,<\/span><\/p>\n

You are my wonder of the heavens or said true my only gold,<\/span><\/p>\n

Said before I am but rust tied to you by rust found in your eyes,<\/span><\/p>\n

As daylight fades to darkness so shall it be what my vision denies,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But yet I will treasure those moments for in your hold I am much more,<\/span><\/p>\n

In darkness we bond, perhaps passion we find at night will arrive as before,<\/span><\/p>\n

My memory of treasures are mostly of emotion, kisses, and deep desire,<\/span><\/p>\n

From within my heart came courage to face the enemies wrath so dire,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From the gold in my hold I will seek support to blaze another trail,<\/span><\/p>\n

As rust fails beyond its last stand I pray gold to support me if I fail,<\/span><\/p>\n

But know from the courage once known to be mine more is found,<\/span><\/p>\n

I am the man so desirous of you, what remains wants to be around,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am forgiven for war’s burdens that tainted my soul for too long,<\/span><\/p>\n

Forgiving my tormentors last year was so hard for such a wrong,<\/span><\/p>\n

I am free of heart and clean of spirit at last then this comes along,<\/span><\/p>\n

With the Angel of Morning Light you will find rust to be very strong,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Though you may lead I am your protector and vow my last breath yours,<\/span><\/p>\n

My courage can be found to stand at sinister’s door for your love procures,<\/span><\/p>\n

With your little hand in mine the Angel of Morning Light transforms to be,<\/span><\/p>\n

To be the Angel of Guiding Light, my guiding light so I may continue to see,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I fear no evil nor shall peril bring cowardliness as courage is in my hand,<\/span><\/p>\n

Our home is my heaven, your essence is my nourishment to stand,<\/span><\/p>\n

Place tender a kiss upon my lips and forward I shall go into the murk,<\/span><\/p>\n

Into the darkness of daylight I shall wander fearing not what may lurk,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

An artist’s attempt to depict your beauty fell short once not long ago,<\/span><\/p>\n

He said to me it’s impossible for a painting to depict an angel’s glow,<\/span><\/p>\n

The Angel of Light has been here all along and I celebrate it now,<\/span><\/p>\n

Although I love everything you and of you, I missed that part somehow.<\/span><\/p>\n

The end, for Patti by Pat<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you baby, I love you so very much and I thank you.<\/span><\/p>\n
