So Welcome in My Heart

Her body, mind, and spirit –
Sweet-scented like a rose,
So cherished in my heart, is she;
No thorny night’s repose.

I truly fell, the day we met,
Love’s visions, gifts ignored –
Her beauty, grace, and loveliness,
Are memories still stored.

May we embrace this union
Of souls, both hers and mine? 
So welcome in my heart, is she,
Like sweet, red-cherry wine.

Such success and joy in life,
I feel so truly blessed,
To call her my companion, 
And never be too stressed.

Tomorrow paints the canvas,
And a love so bright, secured –
Our golden lives together,
Like wings, have still endured.
