My Favorite Thing

My very favorite thing in this life To simply sit and talk with my wife About our day or perhaps the past Planning ways to make the future last We are beyond desire and lust Our loves more about friendship and trust Mornings we share our coffee and toast Night we cuddle who we love the most To others eyes it’s amazing to see To us it’s simply how life should be She worries because I’m always so ill Proud I never let it break my will My mission is clear; journey is true She motivates me in all I do I fear my health is slipping away Getting hard to make through a day Honestly, I don’t know if I could Without her love I doubt if I would Lately, I feel as though I may die Things are happening, I don’t know why What makes me strive to do my best? It’s for my wife I must pass this test My favorite thing to do in this life To simply sit and talk with my wife Wow, that made me cry! All at once my blood sugar has just started falling off the charts. By that I mean with a completly full stomach it will just drop to 60. They are going to start running test today. Sorry about the poem. I sat to write a happy poem, however, in the ways that matter it is happy. At least I never have to face these crisis alone. I love you all. For Farrah's contest.

This is the kind of mature love I want to reach with someone one day. It gives me hope that at least one man sees it as something more than desire or obsession
