By odd coincidence, I just recited that poem to my wife a day or so ago.

She has a lighthouse print in the hallway. We were prepping the hall for painting, and when I removed the print, she noticed that a paper was attached to the back.

It was my poem, which relates to lighthouses. So I read it to her.

And yes, I did manage to avoid completely breaking down into tears because of its loveliness. Just a little catch in my throat.
