It Took a Lifetime to Find You

Joshua Cintron

I didn’t expect to feel this lucky. This poem is about the gratitude that catches you off guard when you realize she was worth every year it took to find her.

It took a lifetime, my lifetime,
to find you. You honor me. My soul

smiles; I met my match. Lucky in this lifetime,
grateful as I am to bask

in the glory of a woman like you.
