My heart awakens to the normal sounds of morning in my surround,

The one thing I love to hear is my wife trying to not make a sound,

When I finally wake I call out her name with great hope she is nearby,

Though I have faced the worst of times her beauty has made me cry,

I have endured pain so extreme that my heart has ceased to beat,

As a child we went through garbage cans for shoes for our feet,

Those times and pain endured combined to make a very tough man,

Her kiss softened my soul as well as my heart giving me a life plan,

The joys she has given me are kept in a place I call Heaven’s Night,

Heaven’s Night is part of my Paradise it’s unseen with mortals sight,

It’s a place within my being tied to the memories kept in my brain,

Everything held dear is there such as when I kissed her in the rain,

Within Heaven’s Night is her love that’s been given me over time,

Over time is minimal, in truth upon first eye contact she was mine,

Truth be told it was I that was her’s and I told her she’d be my wife,

She is here, an angel that prays for me and she has most of my life,

Why Heaven’s Night you might wonder about the chosen name,

I dreamed of her loving me for two years before our first kiss came,

I knew love at first sight well and carried the torch until my time,

Our first kiss was magical and a gift from Heaven that was sublime,

Most everything in her life is not done for anyone other than me,

She gives of her life for me as I give my life to her and do so happily,

Our time is much shorter now and worry for her troubles my heart,

Know that each day I love her even more and pray we never part.
