Opposites

I who am stubborn
stir moodiness in with pride
to snap out hurtful retorts  
 
love and forgiveness,
tolerates imperfection
and remains married to me

    Al. Congrats on your poem being featured. A delight to read of a man who has the courage to be honest and honor his wife's tollerance. Shades of my spouse are seen and why l enjoyed it so. Mahalo

    She must really love you...We all have our imperfections, and I'm sure she has hers. The most important thing is in the end to forgive, kiss goodnight, and in the morning begin again...Holly Moore
