Sonnet Sundays: A Rare and Precious Rose

 Fatigued by the bombardment of the world’s lies

Seeking refuge in the green fields of your eyes

When we’re apart, I dream of only one place

Without a doubt, it's found in your warm embrace

Our destiny was definitely not fate

Deep in my heart, I knew you were my soulmate

It’s very rare that I have cried in my life

But I did when you walked down to be my wife

Overtaken by the sight of your beauty

To love you forever, my only duty

I’ll never give you reason for disbelief

No one is worthy to cause you such grief

Looking to the future instead of the past

Only to love you until I breathe my last

Eternally grateful, I’m the one you chose

You're like a rare and precious rose
