opening my drawer in need of socks

there is a card therein

on the outside is an angel

sitting in a garden

as i opened there was your penmanship

written were these words

when i count my blessings

i start with you

i love you my husband

cherish the ring i wear

cherish the love you have given me

cherish each moment with you

cherish your thoughtful gestures

cherish knowing you stand with me

cherish the life we have

that my beloved husband sums it up

those are the blessings i most cherish

and so for a moment, i am hushed

in the Elysium of her touch

it is a moment in Elysian fields

the promise of Halcyon days
in the garden to me she is
