Living Miracle

Once In A Lifetime

By Dr. George Shannon FergusonPublished 10 days ago • Updated 10 days ago • 1 min read
Gold on the outside, green as her eyes within: a love worn close to the heart.

Every time I look into your eyes, I witness a miracle;

The love you hold for me shines there, bright and visible.

Your smile is exquisite; nothing on this earth is comparable,

And when I read you my poetry, your giggle is so adorable.

When it comes to you, the rest of the world turns invisible;

You are all I see, and a life without you would be unbearable.

When you say, "Shannon, I LOVE YOU," my heart reaches its pinnacle;

I have caught a lovesickness called YOU, and it is incurable.

I wear your love upon my heart, because your love is wearable.

When you let your hair down, every breath becomes difficult;

My blood begins to rush, my heart beats wild and hysterical,

And one look into your green eyes leaves me high on love's chemical.

Your golden skin glows as if pure gold had turned physical.

I pray our daughter is born with your glow and green eyes, so magical.

When I speak your name, I want to sing every syllable;

I want the whole world to know that you are incomparable.

Everything about you is extravagant; nothing about you is typical.

No one is perfect, but if you have a flaw, it is minimal.

My heart was broken once, but your love proved it was repairable;

Your beauty rivals the stars. You are something mythical.

Look closely: the reflection shines just as bright as the original. That is what reciprocal love looks like.

Our hearts entwine; our love is a mirror, perfectly reciprocal.

Heaven still performs wonders, and the proof is undeniable:

I believe in miracles because you are a living miracle.
