You Gave Me A Reason
Each day's end was empty
as the one that came before.
Lonely was my world,
but I expected nothing more.
I hid behind the music
that I played for endless hours.
Unfamiliar music,
with no memory in its power.
I wrote romantic stories
with a vixen as the star.
I lived through them vicariously,
no evil could then mar.
My life was cold and vacuous,
and I had no hope of change.
Your love gave me new purpose
and my world you rearranged.
Your honesty and candor
broke through that wall I'd built.
Your laugh, your charm, your frankness
sifted pain like silt.
You gave to me a reason
to come home, to smile, to live.
You daily take my sorrow
as you give and give and give.
I don't know how I got you
with your tenderness and praise,
But Jim, I swear I'll cherish you
forever and a day.

A lovely poem filled with light! It made me think of something I've read: Some people come into your life for a season, some for a reason and some for a lifetime - and with time we'll learn which one it will be. This poem is actually a beautiful song - a beautiful reason to sing!

Hey, "Boss", you'd better stop that, or I'll start crying in my beer, and you know I don't drink.
Thank you,
Jim
My oh, my! Aren't you two the pair?? This just made my day. I'll be in touch.

Jessica,
That is so sweet!
Remember what I said in the email....what comes around, goes around. Well I think your goodness and happiness has come around and back to you.
