My Man

There is this man that I do know His mind is always on the go Peter Duggan is his name And writing poetry is his game Nature is what he is about Of this I really have no doubt His mind is always full of words From dusk til dawn his pen does work This my friends is who he is With each new day I'm truly blessed So proud to say he is my man Forever and ever until the end So Peter, I don't say it much But your the man I love so much You make me happy and fulfil my life These words they come from me your wife

G'day Vera... a lovely tribute to Peter, Vera. Peter is certainly a prolific writer and might I add, I've read a few of his poems declaring love for his lovely wife also. Merry Christmas Vera - Lindsay

Thank you Lindsay, yes I agree, but then I would, wouldn't I, he is a good writer, in fact I get two lovely poems every morning so I thought it is about time I wrote something about him and that is what I came up with, glad you liked it. Take care and have a brilliant Aussie Christmas love to your family....Vera

Thank you so much Paul, yes I guess in this day and age 50 years is a milestone and we are so lucky to have found each other, mind you it hasn't all been smooth sailing as it is a long time for two people to live together, but once you get through those early years it is all smooth sailing, have a great Christmas and take care....Vera
