Skylark

My heart sweeps
Up into the air
Like a skylark
On the wing,
As she tells me
She loves me.
I am unfamiliar
With those words,
Spoken to me.
We are partners,
Companions on
Life’s bumpy road.
We trust and care
For one another.
We both need
This affection to
Make life worthwhile.
To find such a treasure
To share is a miracle,
I am astonished at
Our luck and how
Natural it feels.
I wonder what will
Happen to us,
But I feel we will
Be happy for
Many years.
What else
Can one ask.
