Thankful

I remember waking up
In a hotel near Clearwater Beach
My new husband lying beside me
How it felt to watch him sleep.

I remember wondering

If this dream would be forever
For even at a wise twenty-two
I knew fairytales could end.

I remember how it felt

To feel blessed each moment, each day
Not take anything for granted
To be happy we love each other now.

I remember forty-one May 2^nd’s
How it felt to be loved by him
How it felt to love him more each year
how the bond grew more solid, more sure.

I remember now as we reach May 2^nd
That this man is still my superman
That my life wouldn’t be what it is
I’m so thankful for this man in my life.
