I love the sun <br />I love lying in the sun, relaxing on a lounge <br />Working hard for a cold glass of sweet tea <br />Playing in the water, fishing in the late afternoon <br />I love the sun very much <br />But not as much as I love you <br /> <br />I love a glass of wine <br />I love a glass of red wine beside the company of a lady <br />Talking over the day, bathing in the winelight <br />Listening to soft music by a fire together <br />I love a glass of wine very much <br />But not as much as I love you <br /> <br />I love the words <br />I love forming the words into meaningful tapestries <br />Searching for just the right phrase, the perfect sound <br />Projecting what’s on my heart to you, good reader <br />I love the words very much <br />But not as much as I love you <br /> <br />I love the rain <br />I love sitting by the window, my breath fogged on the cool glass <br />Contemplating a quiet moment, my thoughts far away <br />Watering the earth to make good things grow <br />I love the rain very much <br />But not as much as I love you <br /> <br />I love many things <br />I love so many things about this life I can’t list them all <br />Parties, meals, a job well done, victory, cleansing tears and dogs <br />Small town softball games and walking along a forest trail <br />I love many things very much <br />And yet, my dear, I love you much more<br /><br />DAVID TERRY<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/things-i-love-3/
