A Day with You

Serenely sleeping on the pillow, in the morning;

Cracking a smile while getting ready for work;

Laughing in the car on the way to work;

A kiss and a smile goodbye, and “have a good day”;

Joking around in text messages;

Tips, lists and instructions;

Picking you up after a hard day at work;

Chatting over dinner;

Discussing the world while watching the news;

Jamming to music while we do the dishes;

Playing with the pets at treat time;

Back into bed for a good night’s rest.

You Bless Me

You bless me

With a mind that understands

The ways I think and act,

The ways I try to be

A better husband,

And the ways I fall short,

When I am weak.

You bless me

In the ways you help me,

The ways you care for me,

The ways you love me.

You bless me

With your curiosity,

Your insightfulness,

Your intelligence.

You bless me

With your generosity,

Your humility,

Your persistence.

You bless me,

And I am privileged to be

Your loving husband.

Again

Little shy might be slow yes come closer I’m slightly heartbroken left at the station she stood me up it was short notice but still don’t you think she should have shown I do but maybe she didn’t want to see me possible yep that’s how it goes sometimes lost out again

Nature Walk

Come with me

We can walk down this path

Until we get tired,

Then we can rest for a while.

What should we expect to see

On this bumpy trail?

Well, there will be others

Walking alongside us.

There will be adults and children.

And there will be pets, mostly dogs,

Because cats don’t like to walk far.

There will be grass and dirt

And hills and water and trees.

There won’t be any buildings

Or cars or TVs or computers.

Does that sound boring?

You need to appreciate nature

So that you will want to protect it.

We may not always have it, you know.

Take It Away

Till swill will come through you aren’t so big for me to beat no can’t do that no more they call abuse so we just ask nicely and take away privileges till they suffer enough and give in but is it suffering? They still have food water shelter a bed a home but it works they say so don’t mess with a good thing
