A happy Valentine’s Day with my Imzadi, Racheal. I love you.
I wrote this for her a few years ago.

“When I Think of You” 

When the shadow of night falls;
     When the first dew of morning glistens;
          When the Sun’s rays light up a room;
               When twilight draws near;
     I think of you.
In the way you brush aside your hair;
     In the way you hold my shirt close;
          In the way you smile when I walk in the room;
               In the way you whisper certain words;
     I notice the ‘little things’.
With the blooming of flowers in the spring;
     With the smell of the breeze in the fall;
          With the laughter of children in the summer;
               With the warmth of a fireside in winter;
     I feel our love grow.
I see a future of possibilities;
     I see a past I don’t regret;
          I see a today full of adventure;
               I see an eternity in our souls;
All this at once every time I think of you.

Dinner was amazing. Tonight she made Mini Beef Wellington with garlic parmesan potato stacks and acorn squash. I am full- in spirit and in food.
