You are the sun when shades are pulled
You are the sparkling water that rushes
over shiny rocks in torrent stream,
You are the smoky moonlit shadows on quiet walls
You are the sweet smelling cotton of summer days,
Yours is the smile, adorned in radiant highlights
on a tired face,
Yours are the dark ‘bitter chocolate’ eyes
that twinkle indiscreetly !
Yours is the contented sigh that embellishes my room,
You are the blackberries that hang in myriad burgundy
array against my garden wall,
You are the saxophone in bluesy midnight tones
that stirs my heart,
You are the will and courage of every day
and I am the heart that never ceases to worry…

To be loved in such a way is a bold testament of a person’s character. Love and admiration is earned, but without a worthy partner, sometimes things go unnoticed. Hamada is a lucky man.
