New Year but this is not the sameI am the most fortunate and undeserving soul to have found My One. I don't know where I would be or if I would still be on earth, if it wasn't for My One.
for out of the depths she called my name
raised me up to purge those demons
and cried those tears for me
for us
I trust My One forever
and then for one day more
for I hope to be with the only one
who never rejected me
My One
For I cannot be who I am
what I strive to be without her
She saved me from myself
that drowning soul that was me
back then
As now I can stand this day
at the crest of the morning hill
all I see is still nothing
without My One

A lovely and powerful tribute to your One. A fortunate man you are indeed!
ReplyDeleteI got the better end of this deal, that's for sure. Thank you for your thoughts, MMT
DeleteYour One sounds divine. You are blessed.
ReplyDeleteYes, she is and yes, I am. Thank you, Hazel.
DeleteThat "crest of the morning hill" image just soars.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Chrissa. I'm glad you liked it.
DeleteI completely understand the joy, the relief (and many times, the complete disbelief) that comes from knowing we found the One for us. I thank the universe for One every single day--sometimes thrice--and I'm always in awe of how he gives me what I didn't even know I wanted (or needed).
ReplyDeleteI'm glad for you, Magaly. It seems that you are a lucky person as well! Thanks for sharing and Cheers to you and your One.
DeleteI am so happy you found the One!!💝 It makes us realize how blessed we are doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteI am blessed several times over and I'm pretty sure I got the better deal than she did. I hope you are blessed as well. Cheers, Sanaa!
DeleteYou are truly blessed then--this is lovely!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Audrey. Yes, I am. And I'm remind myself each day. I'm glad you liked this.
DeleteWhat amazing magic love is! I am thankful for having so much of it in my life too.
ReplyDeleteIt may be magic that is love but it's no fairy tale for her. And I'm no Prince Charming. I'm glad you found your One as well. Your are truly blessed as well!
DeleteBlessed is the man who has found The One and who has the wisdom to value her. This is a wonderful tribute to your One.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Beverly. I almost forgot to make sure she knew how much she meant to me. (I'm more fool than wise, though.) I'm glad you liked this.
DeleteYes, this is such a beautiful tribute and acknowledgement of 'The One' in your life Joel.
ReplyDeleteThis is so kind, Robin. Thank you.
DeleteI showed this to My Beloved Sandra & said, "See? I am not alone in adoration.."
ReplyDeleteI don't know your Sandra, so I cannot... Oh, I get you. I'm glad you find your One, Ron. Thanks for stopping by
DeleteWhat a blessing...I am blessed to still be with my "one."
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you found you One. I hope for many more years together for you, Susie. Thank you.
DeleteI am glad you're so blessed. I think we all deserve that – or at any rate need it. (My beloved has gone on ahead of me, but the memories keep me warm.)
ReplyDeleteOh, I am blessed, Rosemary. I'm glad that you were but sorry it ended too soon for you. Thank you for stopping by.
DeleteLovely intro to this heart warming poem.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Margaret. I appreciate your kind thoughts.
DeleteIt's a gift to have been blessed with The One...and I feel privileged to be able to see this expression of gratitude put into words.
ReplyDelete(My apologies for a late response...covid- 19 had me busy! )
Thank you, Vivian. She is a gift, that's for sure. I appreciate your very kind words, I've never had someone tell me that before. (I understand about to covid-19, as I'm in the same boat.)
