Letters to Petula

Sometimes I get lost

Sometimes I enjoy

Getting lost

In the captured moments

Of that beautiful day in October

 

Lost in a photo album

Lost in a day I'd given up on having

Lost in the emotion of seeking and finding

Lost in friends and family's best wishes

 

But mostly:

 

Lost in my wife's beautiful face

Lost in the eyes that convey

So much kindness, love and acceptance of me

Lost in the fine lines that tell

Of her story, of her journey

Lost in her smile, the smile

That shows she knows joy too

Lost in the way she's holding onto me

Like she knows I'll never let her fall

 

So, I'm lost in a thought I'm sure is true:

I do think if I showed

A much younger me these photos

He would smile and say, "Yes, I can see why,

 

I can see why you chose her."

Author's Notes/Comments: 

For Petula, my lover, best friend, soulmate, mother of my child, my beautiful darling wife.
