I'm The Thankful

It's me, the two week old puppy licking your face, wagging my tail, jumping all over you; simply because you're you.

I'm the best qualities your Grandpa expounded, all of the details he shared with you that were important before he died.

I'm all of the hearts drawn on the outside of the diary you hold close to your breast for fear of losing.

I'm your **** Adonis, though I don't have dimples, and I have a four pack at best, instead of the six visible quadrants of abs.

I'm the red wine you sip and savor while you're relaxing on Sunday afternoon reading Louisa May Alcott.

I'm the ready apology waiting when I've made a mistake or inadvertently hurt your feelings.

I'm the lingering scent of POLO that wafts through your mind when we are apart from each other, and the chill on your skin as you remember my touch.

I'm the joy spread across your smile when you laugh out loud, the butterfly that lights upon your fingers and not fly away.

I'm the diamonds encrusted tennis bracelet you weren't expecting, just because.

I'm the tears rolling down your face when you are sad, and the punchline of the joke used to cheer you up.

I'm the slight stare across the room at the event because I can't stop thinking about you.

I'm every droplet of hot water that showers you, envelops you, and caresses you.

I'm the fast beating heart when we kiss, and the giddy child when we hold hands.

I'm the soul that slow dances with yours when we make love and hold each other in afterglow.

I'm the Thankful!

I'm the Blessed and Lucky one.
