Thank You

   I often had the strange feeling about not liking poetry, or not understanding it quite enough – probably I was doing it wrong. The truth of the matter is that I do like reading poetry, but only when I feel the need to do it. I take advantage of that moment of inspiration and write, although the outcome is not what I meant in the first place. It  happened to me  after I read a poem related to the beauties of nature called Lily of the Nile, by Martha Hoffman (http://www.poetryatlas.com/poetry/poem/2449/).

 

 

Thank You

Thanks I give for the time spent with me;

For the moments you shared with no regrets;

For those words uttered in the precise second

You knew I needed them.

 

Together with your warm arms around me

Thanks for each and every laughter and smile

Giving me full pleasure and completeness

With your calling me your modest lily of the Nile.

 

Respect, Care and Admiration Is the how

I can begin to comprise what I feel

For every time we made our love tangible

My loving you I cannot conceal.
