As It Came
In the morning I like my laugh when it’s with yours
Starts with a muffled giggle, but when it rains it pours
Your chest inflates and out comes a hearty bellow
This placid stream of crisp mornings mellow
Every pearly white on glorious display
In this happy place I forever want to stay
You on the couch, I’m sat crossed legged on the floor
Talking about what life could possibly have in store
You say ‘we should take it as it will come’
As the morning dew begins to linger with the sun
I turn and catch you giving me a pensive look
Your speechless thoughts could fill any book
Later in the day we go for a walk in the countryside
I don’t think I’d prefer anyone else to share this ride
Half way up the hill, I stop to get a twig out my wellie
You lean in for a kiss, my boots now filled with jelly
You smile yet again and slip a hand in my mitten
I wondered if the wildlife ever get so smitten?
In the now stretched wool you enclose my cold fist
Knit a two for one mitt I add to my mental to do list
We’ve made it to the top of this glorious place
The wind now picking up to a howling pace
I put my arm around you and hug you tight
The autumn leaves have now taken flight
‘We'd have been quicker if you didn’t make my legs go lame’
You laugh, ‘Well I told you we would take it as it came’
