Nancy

She's beautiful
Like all expressions of selfless love are
That smile
That whispers I know the secret
Becoming is in the giving
In her authentic self
She glows
And I cannot believe my good fortune
To be close enough to her
To at once reflect and absorb her radiance
Light that dances in her eyes
And finds expression in countless
Little things she does for those she loves
The way she dances out of a room
When those of us with less imagination
Would merely use our feet for walking
The way she loves
As if life depended on it and indeed it does
Leaves me to conclude
I have never known love before
