My Guardian Angel

We have been together for eleven years. Wuan is still as caring as she was when we first met, and much more. Many times, I ask myself what I have done to deserve such a wonderful woman. She ensures that all my needs are looked after. She wakes up at 5 am in the morning, every morning, to cook my lunch before she goes off to work. She watches over what I eat like a hawk to keep my declining renal health in check.

We can talk about anything and everything. Our interests are similar. We seldom have disagreements, almost never. She knows what I have in mind even before the words leave my lips. She spurs me on whenever I begin to lose hope. She gives me hope. She inspires me with her optimism. She is that spurt of energy that carries me through the last mile. With her, I have no worries. Life is a bliss. She completes me. She is all that is white and pure. She must be an angel. She is!

MY GUARDIAN ANGEL

There were times when I wished
I could hold you close and tell you
how much my life has changed
because you cared enough
to show me how beautiful life still is

You cared enough to tell me
that I still have one true friend
who accepts me for what I am
and believing that nothing is impossible
if I dare to take the first bold step

I want to tell you that I appreciate
all that you have done for me
the times that we spent talking
and the times that you kept my heart warm
on those cold lonely nights

Thanks for being there always
for listening and understanding
you are truly one of a kind
and I cannot help but wonder
if you are my guardian angel in disguise.

  1. Not everyone in this world will get a chance to find what both of you have. Even if they do, some may not know it ’til it’s gone. Glad that both of you found each other and cherish each other just as much 🙂

  2. so sweet 🙂 every woman should be so lucky to have a man who appreciates her as you do.

    Peter:
    Thanks, Adriene. I am lucky to have a woman who loves me as much. 🙂

  3. So sweet..sometimes we go thru the worst things in life before we finally get the best. This is just a experience u should forget about and tell yourself that it was just to prepare you of something more wonderful to come. You became a stronger and you should be proud of your achievements and continue to be strong not only for others but for urself also. God Bless you Peter.
    Take care.

    Peter:
    Thanks!
