…
when I first awake each morning. Sleepy and vulnerable with eyes which refuse
to open. Soft and warm with a body which yearns for Your touch.
… when I totter along to the hall and step into the
shower. Beneath Your stern gaze, my soapy hands roam freely over my skin and I
wish they were Yours.
… when I don my clothes and reflect on my rough lack of
sartorial splendour.
… when I boil the kettle, make coffee, and have the first
sip of that warm sensuous brew. My smile appears as I think of cooking for You.
… when I head out into the world to face whatever the day
may present.
… when I climb the ladder up to my boat and take extra
care because I know I must be safe for You.
… when You look over my shoulder as I work on some fitting
and explain we do it this way because it is more secure, better protected, and
safer.
… when I take some nourishment and consider what a
positive influence You are on my diet.
… when filled with fatigue from the day’s efforts, I
settle for a few quiet moments and contemplate this wonderful mystical
connection between us.
… when I take a sip of Prosecco and whisper, “Slainte”, to
You.
… when the sun sinks to the horizon and the night draws
her velvet cloak over the world to end another day. The stars begin to peek down
at us and I wonder if You too are looking up at them.
… when I climb into bed and long to share my warmth with
You.
… when my eyes begin to close and I smile at my thoughts
of You.
Every moment of every day, You are with me.
