I Want To Live
The following poem is dedicated to my family and the friends who, with their generosity on my 65th birthday, made it possible for me to keep my caregiver for another three weeks or so while we await the results of our application for caregiver assistance. It was also written in appreciation for all the things that they do to help make my life easier so that I may enjoy each day to the fullest. I love them all more than I could ever say and consider myself very blessed. I am not in this alone.
I want to live
For the bright smiles of my grandchildren
For sweet kisses and warm hugs
For the music of their laughter
For the perfect love in their hearts
I want to live
For the love of my daughters
For the joy and pleasure they bring to me
For everything we are and have been
For the perfect love in their hearts
I want to live
For the beauty of family
For a place of belonging worth waiting for
For the gift of having a home
With a perfect love in its heart
I want to live
For the precious gift of friendship
For the ones who have shared the ride
For those who have touched my life
With a perfect love in their hearts
I want to live
For the love of my husband
For the light in his eyes, his tender touch
For all that we are and all that we have
With a perfect love in our hearts

And, besides being a beautiful blond, you DO have a beautiful heart and soul! (THey are possibly blond as well!)
