Not only does he have many aches and pains due to hard labor all his life in the field of construction, my husband also suffers from anxiety and depression, for which he takes meds. His childhood was very difficult, and over the years I have to admire him for overcoming the mang negative things he had to deal with growing up.
__________________________________________________________________________
He doesn’t like to socialize, nor does
he laugh at funny shows the way I do.
He suffers chronic pain and frets because
he’s worked so long and hard his whole life through.
We’ve had our ups and downs, and that’s for sure,
but I can overlook the bad. Our love
has grown through many years and will endure
because there’s one thing I am certain of.
My husband’s there for me! Though he may lack
a way with words, much tact or great finesse,
I know deep down – he’ll always have my back.
Each year as we grow greyer, he feels stress.
My birthday wish for him is that he’ll find
contentment and – at last – some peace of mind.
