Reflections

by Kenneth E. Martin

It has been many moons since I last wrote,
Sometimes I get caught up in the now and forget about the past. I need to remember all the sacrifices that you have had to make and all the little things that you do daily. At this time of the year I tend to think about all the things that God has blessed me with and his highest blessing of this season and many of the past has to be you.

You have stood by me when the times were tough, and at times my priorities my have not been what they should have been. I know at times I tend to take you for granted.

My work at times consumes my thoughts and deeds. But when I straighten out my head, I find you still standing there. For that I truly thank you. I don’t know if I have lived up to the man that filled your dreams those many years ago.

I have said things to you that I have relived time and time again wishing that I could take them back.. But the one thing I am glad that I was man enough to say was "I do".

I can’t say that I know I will ever be your knight in shining armor again, but once was I and you my maid of the tower.. Time passes and days turn to weeks and weeks into years and years into memories, and we tend to remember the bad things more than the good, so I pledge to you, to give you nothing to remember but, butterflies and daffodils.
