POEMS

I love the strength you possess
With strands of woven silk.
The joy you feed your children
Like warm mother’s milk.

I love the caring you show
For causes large and small.
And how you can recover
From the severest fall.

I love how you feel and live
For man both known or not,
Spending the week working
To help improve their lot.

I love that tenacious spirit
Through the severest of flak.
You just keep right on going
When many would turn back.

I love the way your eyes shine
When looking into mine,
How you get yourself ready
Amuses me every time.

I love our beat and rhyme
With most everything we do
And if by chance I falter
I know you’ll pull me through.

I love each time you move me
These many years and more
That laugh, cry, yelp and shout,
Such things in you I adore.

I love how you fight the fight
Yet still have time for play,
Precious times spent together
Never to be swept away.
