WHY I LOVE HIM

His eyes so blue,
They warm me so.
His arms so strong,
They hold me tight.
His heart so big,
It helps me grow.
His hands so gentle,
I feel alright.
His mind so brilliant,
Thoughts I will not outgrow.
His lips so soft,
They entice my delight.
His smile so deep,
It makes me glow.
His humor so witty,
I giggle so outright.
His kisses so delicate,
I tingle from head to toe.
His creativity so imaginative,
My inspiration it does invite.
His ambitions so determined,
This I truly know.
And that is why I love him,
Because of all these things I write.

I AM HIS

I am his wife,
I feel so strong.
I am his helper,
I feel so essential.
I am his friend,
I feel so needed.
I am his admirer,
I feel so blessed.
I am his supporter,
I feel so necessary.
I am his mediator,
I feel so important.
I am his lover,
I feel so cherished.

HIS PAIN

How can I help to heal his pain?
Somewhere deep inside,
The man I love still exists,
But he's lost and confused.
I try so hard everyday,
To make him feel content.
I talk with him and work with him,
Trying to make him feel secure,
But he says he's not strong anymore.
My sister says I can't fix him,
But if I can't who can?
After ten years of marriage,
Aren't I his closest friend?
Time can heal some of the pain,
This I can only hope.
I can not help but wonder,
Did I contribute to his anguish?
And that I truly regeret.
So I will try my very best,
To help him understand,
That he is needed, loved and wanted.
Because he is the man I love,
And nothing else seems to matter.


WHERE I GREW UP

Every morning I walk the dog
Down the streets I walked as a child
But somehow things have changed
I see the houses different now
Standing still and tall
I had a friend that lived right there
And another down the street
But they've all moved away
Someone else has hung their hat
And made it now their home
Yet somehow things are still the same
Tree lined streets & manicured lawns
The neighbor that waves as I walk past
The sidewalk where I fell skating
A sense of happiness comes over me
This is where I grew up
And the place I call my home
