Quip's Corner - Hello, My Love!

Hello, my love, good morning
I’ve been watching you for a while
I waited till you opened your eyes,
‘Cause I needed to see your smile

I studied the contour of your lips
And watched you slowly breathe
I still don’t believe that a beauty like this
Could have chosen to be with me

I can see your warmth in evening’s sunset
And hear your whisper in the breeze.
I even love the funny face you make
When you are trying not to sneeze

I watch you kneel beside our children,
Softly teaching each one to pray
Helping them learn of their Heavenly Father
And how to converse both night and day

I hear your whispered words of comfort
See your desire to do your part
To soothe the pain of a hurting child
And to touch the lonely widow’s heart

Hello, my love, good morning
What can I do for you this week
Can I say something to make you happy,
Wash the dishes or clean the sink

Make a breakfast of all your favorites
Get the kids all off to school
Try to make you grin or laugh out loud
By acting like a fool

We may not have the newest things
That I’d like for you, my wife
But things don’t make a sleeping child smile
And are not what gauges life

What can I do to show my love,
Give back, for your life with me
I never knew, when you agreed,
What a blessed life that this would be
