To the man who makes me happy
By Chantal Bellehumeur
(This poem dedicated to Jeffrey Overall was published in the poetry anthology ''Words of Fire and Ice,'' put togetehr by Durham Editing in 2014.)
The Happiest girl I must be,
For a man with such a great personality
To have directed his tender love towards me.
I’ve truly never felt this much security
Before I felt your arms holding me so tightly
And your hands caressing me ever so gently.
They way you seem to protect my fragile body
And clear out the bad memories of my history
Proves you’d not let me be harmed by an enemy.
Although bragging is not what I do normally,
I have to pride myself for being so lucky
To have met such a wonderful person as thee.
