i share her with
She awakes in the morning nuzzling her face in the sheets
Then stretches and rises to meet the day
I breathe in her soft scent where she laid her head
I share her with the bed
She stoops low in the garden
How softly she cups the colors of bloom
Fragile masterpieces of Mother Nature's powers
I share her with the flowers
She laughs and plays and tickles her children
As they giggle and smile and tumble about
For a moment she lets them dwell in a time of make-believe and maybes
I share her with the babies
She looks up and kisses to the clouds and the sun
The angels bow down in adoring affection
And then ever brighter the open heavens rise
I share her with the skies
She wades in the warmth of the shallows
Sending out from her tiny ripples to far away shores
Wantingly the waves try to hold and hug her knees
I share her with the seas
She climbs way up rugged slopes with seldom a faltering
The lush valleys see her and whimper quiet sighs
Even the wind hushes and stills
I share her with the hills
She goes to the market to look about and shop
As she smartly purchases the items in need
She pauses to smile and greet so many out loud
I share her with a crowd
She sits at the window and stares at the rain
Her thoughts far off beyond the senses
To a world that could be hers by a simple command
I share her with dreamland
But far into the night when the world around slumbers
I kiss her tender cheek as she squeezes my hand and snuggles so close to me
Oh, that heartbeating time when our nightshirts are all undone
I'm blessed to share her with no one
