Lyn

 

She picks up after me

And still washes my clothes,

What I would do without her

Only heaven knows.

She prepares my meals

Just like she did before,

Nothing has changed in the passing years

Except she loves me more.

 And it shows all the time

Even though she is human,

Believe me, she is super-duper tolerant

And never makes demands.

 

Should she ever leave me

That would be my greatest sorrow,

Thank God she is with me today

Enough about tomorrow.

Today begins another year

That she has been on this earth,

Yes, today I celebrate with her

And thank God for her birth.

I was not there when it happened

But I have the evidence it did,

For she’s my friend and soul mate

And her love is off the grid.

She still sleeps beside me

She brings balance to my bed,

No chance of me falling off

For we still sleep head to head.

Well that’s enough of our business

Now I shall close the door,

Send her a note if you love her

But note, I love her more.

 

 

Happy birthday to my wife

At the start of another year,

In spite of living with me

She still looks mighty fair.

Today I celebrate you,

This poem is my way of showing it,

I have posted it on my blog

Enjoy it, every bit.

Happy birthday to you, Lyn,

I am glad you stayed around,

You deserve many medals

For putting up with this clown.

At least I can make you laugh

Though I sometimes cause a frown,

Have a happy birthday, I say again

And may your joy be all year long.

Happy birthday, Sweetheart,

From Stewart, your adoring husband.
