She's a Wow

Got this gal and her name is Cathie Sitting beside me right now The love of my life, my sweet darling wife The way I describe her is WOW! My male acquaintances scoff and guffaw They really don't have a clue How much dear Cathie means to this guy An absolute dream tried and true I'm so damn lucky to have this sweetie The envy of all of my friends A companion so rare with silver grey hair To the moon and stars I ascend The kind of love they've been writing about Ever since Mother Earth was new Consider myself a real lucky old dude Think I'm one of a very few Got this gal and her name is Cathie Sitting beside me right now Must've done something special back when To deserve her marital vows © Jack Ellison 2013

Writing about nice bottoms and boobies, you better write one of these lol. Just kidding this is really nice Jack. I'm sure she feels at least a little lucky too. I would probably feel envy myself, but it's not in me. I like it when things work out for good people. I may not know you that well, but your writing suggests good character and morality. Great work again, although my immature side was disappointed this time haha.

I sure hope that you shared this awesome write with Cathie my friend! You two are a very special couple, its seems rare anymore that couples stay together for as long as you have! My family, all my grandparents, great-grandparents, parents, brother, sister, myself have all been married and have not separated or divorced our whole lifetimes! Those of us that are still alive could still find pitfalls but that isn't likely! Just like you and your Cathie! This is a glorious poem, Great Work!!

Great marriages are few and far between... My Dad and Mom were one of them. It's something and someone to cherish... Great write... Does Obi Wan Cathie give you suggestions on what to write?
