"A Wonderful Gift"

"A Wonderful Gift"

I was older

He didn't seem to care.

There was something

Encompassing  there.

A look I hadn't seen

in quite sometime

But there it was

All mine.

I looked  at him, puzzled

Before I smiled

His eyes responded

It was amazingly  wild.

No need, for words

Little was said

I came alive

From almost  dead.

Maybe God sent him

I'll never know

Twelve happy years

Before  we let go.

I think of him often

He'll always be missed.

What a treat to be loved

Just because you exist.
