If I Were to Choose

If I would have to choose among them all
Those moments in my life of greatest worth
That made my heart stand still in silent awe
I’d have to say the splendor of the earth
But most fulfilling was a child’s birth

If I would choose the most delightful day
The one which celebrated life anew
I’d say the laughter in a child’s play
To me was like a song from heavens blue
But grandest was the day that I met you

If I were made to choose one glorious night
That truly lit each corner of my soul
I would recall the glow of candlelight
From which God’s hand reached out to hold my own
For in the dark I suffered all alone

But if I were to choose the best I’ve lived
The pinnacle of all that I’ve been blessed
I’d have to say the love that purely sieved
Through sands of life’s exquisite happiness
Bestowed to me by you, the very best

Elizabeth, such beautiful words and we can all relate in one way or another. Each verse I said " yes, this is the best", then said the same at the next verse. I loved this, ME

Liz, another glorious poem from your mystical pen! How blessed to cherish each of these moments of bliss. Love, Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.
