Pinch Me

I haven't posted love poetry for a while now as I didn't want people to think this blog was just an "I'm so loved up and want the world to know" blog. Even if that is true...

But at the end of the day you guys do seem to love it. As you can see on the far right column under "People have hit these posts the most" these 3 posts - I Have a Girl - I Have A Love - My One And Only Valentine - have been hit a lot. In fact, I Have A Girl alone has accumulated one-sixth of all my sites hits to date!

So I don't think you guys mind hearing about my lovely Sammy, which is lucky as she is the subject of this post.

We have piles of fun together. Last week we had the formal for Sam's Medical Class at UCLA, which marked the start of their in-hospital training. Sam has already done two years residency as a specialist Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon following becoming a Doctor of Dental Surgery and now starts her Medical Surgery residency. Still 4 years to go of a crazy 14 years Tertiary study! Ouch...

We had a great time at the ball, even if I did have some narcoleptic moments in the main guest doctor's speech and most of the students are 6 to 10 years younger than us. We can hold our own with the "young'ns" on the party front. You can be sure of that. Here are some photos from beforehand...

Also before heading to the UCLA Geffen School of Medicine Formal, but more casual...

For those who need it spelled out in black and white - I'm in love! I should say "we're in love" as amazingly enough she feels the same about me as I do about her.

 

In Love

It's a very beautiful thing and I must say that sometimes I'm still coming to terms with the fact that it is actually real. And that's what the below poem is about. It nice to know that I no longer have to just hope for true love to be part of my life.

Time for me to close this romantic rant. Read on. I hope you enjoy.


Pinch Me



Pinch me...hmmm...pinch me again
This seems to be so real but then
How could such boundless beauty be
Breathing here right next to me

I'm often left bereft of all
But pure delight and quite enthralled
With this bliss goddess before my eyes
And when we kiss I realize

She has simply changed my life to be
Better than any other known reality
And for this bliss I'm thankful endlessly
For I will live this life so happy, as only she can make me
