Something Beautiful – I

Whenever I see something beautiful
I think of you.

This morning I awoke singing a song
I dedicated to you. A song about love,
about faith, about hopes and dreams.
And I saw that all of these songs
were for me too. I am here with you,
loving myself as much as I love you.
Seeing the best of who I am in you.
Seeing you as worthy of love.

I hold your heart gently, honored
by your presence in my life.
I choose you, Clare.
And I choose me. I choose
happiness and a future blessed
by joy. You have taken my hand
and my heart. My equal, my
beautiful, bright, mindful Clare.
